In life, we must make decisions to set our course. We cannot sit back and let the wind be our sole guide; the wind is not strong enough to move a life, it can merely suggest. In a perfect world, all decisions would be made with full knowledge of it’s effects, and the knowledge of what not making that decision would mean. It would be a boring world. Instead we live in a world where we can only know so much, and the consequences of our decisions cannot be fully known. I would say that in most cases we don’t have a clue as to the future results of our decisions.
So how do we make decisions without knowing what will come of them? We have to go on feel. Our best guesses based on what we do know, based on what we suspect, and a dash hope against the odds. It is easy enough to be frightened into inaction… not stepping forward into the unknown. Who doesn’t want to wait to wait and gather a little more intelligence before taking action? And wait a little longer… and suddenly the opportunity to decide is gone. Circumstance or Someone else has made the decision for you.
I’ve been trapped into inaction by uncertainty. Time for change. This is me starting to make decisions on what I think I want. No, I’m not sure. I don’t always have a clear path in front of me. I will trip and fall at times. But I might also get to where I want to be. There is a certain exhilaration in not knowing. Something like running in the dark. Not knowing what is coming next. But dawn is coming.
