In the last few months I have made a number of very important decisions.

A number of them have been enjoyable for a time.
Most of them brought life lessons.

Part of the game. Make mistakes. Learn to mitigate for the future.

However the most important thing is that one makes a decision.
Indecision gets a person killed 100% of the time.

Making a decision breeds fear in the weak heart. The ending cide from the latin word cida means to kill. When you make a decision you kill off the alternatives.

Most do not have the stomach for such action. The woulda coulda shoulda begin to weigh far too heavy. Many turn to others to make the move for them.

They shackle themselves to the whims of the hordes.

It is important that when making a decision to never regret it. Regret is a waste of emotional and mental capital. It does nothing but break you down. Commitment to a decision is paramount and the consequences should be seen as mollifying.

I made a number of decisions this past weekend. None of them in my eyes regrettable. Others may argue the vice versa. The fallout gave me clarity. After much contemplation I would not have acted any other way. No take backs. I never second guess myself as it is.

I lived on my terms. I enjoyed more smiles than displeasure.

I let the universe decide. I traveled through the rapids of life and the ride was worth getting my emotions soaked.

At first it is difficult. When a decision explodes and the shrapnel tears into your flesh your first thought is to make H.G.’s  machine a reality.

However you did something. Acted instead of being passive.
Whatever the fallout you must overcome and persevere.

If you let your decisions weigh you down you have given up your freedom. Instead make another decision. Fix it. Leave it. Stay. Go. Try. Don’t Bother.

This morning was a great day.
I walked taller. Smirked wider. Fed a homeless man.

Decisions I made last weekend allowed me to see clearer.
I leave the shrapnel jutting from me as a badge.
