As a matter of fact, I may be making one of those decisions by answering this question! :)<\/p>\n<p><br><\/p>\n<p><img src=\"https:\/\/www.maxpixel.net\/static\/photo\/1x\/False-Opportunity-Right-Chance-Decisions-2709668.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p><br><\/p>\n<p>It may sound as an exaggeration, but I think that life-changing decisions are not only those we associate with choosing a profession, a spouse or a religion. We may be making those kinds of decisions only by choosing to get up and go out one day. <\/p>\n<p>When we look in retrospect at some both tragic and extremely happy moments we may trace down the origin or cause of the event in a simple decision. Whenever someone dies in an accident, for instance, or victim of a crime, we can bet our heads that that might have been prevented if only\u2026 that person had not answered the phone, turned back, taken that bus, stopped for food, walked home\u2026<\/p>\n<p><br><\/p>\n<p><img src=\"https:\/\/upload.wikimedia.org\/wikipedia\/commons\/thumb\/c\/c2\/Cell_phone_use_while_driving.jpg\/800px-Cell_phone_use_while_driving.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p><br><\/p>\n<p><br><\/p>\n<p>The same exercise can be done with happy outcomes. Sometimes getting the job of our lives, the scholarship we dreamed about, or meeting our life partners depends on simple decisions such as going to a party, asking the right question, knocking at a door (against others\u2019 warning not to do so), or accepting to teach a given class.<\/p>\n<p>Of course we tend to measure transformative decisions based on more noticeable results, especially if they involved a change of attitude or lifestyle. Getting drunk in college made me, for instance, decide that I would not become a drinker and I would avoid alcohol as much as I could. That decision, to avoid the painful and embarrassing hangovers, along with the embarrassment of typical drunkards screw-ups, might have caused me to lose job opportunities and other thing, but I have to learn to live with that decision and accept the resulting outcome as the intended and desired one.<\/p>\n<p><br><\/p>\n<p><img src=\"https:\/\/cdn.pixabay.com\/photo\/2016\/04\/29\/17\/32\/cube-1361436_960_720.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p><br><\/p>\n<p><br><\/p>\n<p>Checking our partner\u2019s cell phone may be the only thing needed to start a series of unfortunate event that will lead to one becoming a divorcee and havingto learn to live away from one\u2019s children. Thus, I think that we make life-changing decisions every second of our lives.<\/p>","appTitle":" Have you ever made a decision that changed your entire life?","appTags":["life","post","people","love"],"musingPostType":"answer","appParentPermlink":"pkba955aq","app":"musing\/1.1","appParentAuthor":"savel","appCategory":"life"}" |
