'The decisions we make determine the life we will lead.'

It does seem like a basic truth doesn't it? When I read these, I stop to think about each in the context of examples from my life and mysteries that each might unfold for me. Then, I automatically think of the contrary point and examples. Then I weigh them to decide how each might apply in the future.

I have been thinking about each of our insignificance in the grand scheme of things and assessing how little we can control in this wild world. Knowing that one of the few things we can actually control is how we react/respond to the chaos that is thrown at us. If that is the case, then we really are at the mercy of chaos and the life it will lead us to.

While that may be true, I believe preordained destiny is a bullshit cop out and our decisions are significant. Not enough to control our destiny but definitely enough to determine the life ahead of us on the new path.

Either way, it is a great thing to consider on the way to owning our decisions and making smart choices.
