How do we know.

I often wonder if everyone experiences as much confusion and decision making and wondering as I do. Sometimes I am not sure I'll be able to dig out of the thoughts in my head and figure out what to do...like I'm being sucked into a whirlpool, spinning around and around, grabbing for the edge but it keeps slipping out of my hands. Or do I really know how to get out and am just letting the spin overtake me, overwhelm me, confuse me?

Life is a series of decisions, choices, actions. What to wear today, what to eat, who to call, where to go at night, when to take time off, where to go for vacation, what to get so and so for their birthday. Then there are the big ones. Where do I want to be in 5 years? Am I doing what I should be doing? Am I inspired? Am I happy? What do I want out of today, tomorrow, next week? Should I move? Should I stay? Should I say yes? Should I say no?

Should we choose with our heart or our head? Or just take the plunge...cover your eyes, pinch your nose and leap?

I don't think there are right or wrong choices, they are just choices. Even if something ends up not working out, it doesn't mean it was wrong. It just wasn't right persay. But then again, it's all experiences, learning more about yourself, your likes, dislikes, wants, needs. So can it ever really be a wrong choice?
