Choices. This word seemed to be quite prevalent this week. One colleague told me he was unhappy at work and wanted to quit so I told him that he had a choice - two choices in fact, to let the unhappy thing get to him or to give up and go. Then again the word choices popped up when I was having dinner with my ex-colleagues girl clique. One of them was sharing her past stories where she made bad choices but she stuck by them and was grateful she did. Yes we all have choices, question is will you stick by and bear the consequences of your choices?

(I need to wake up early tmr but my stupid brain is making me write this down while Lady Gaga’s Shallow keeps replaying in my head urgh)

*update: I found the post which describes exactly what i wanted to say! and here goes:
"My grandma told me there are only two types of decisions: Decisions made out of fear and decisions made out of growth.” For instance, do you stay in your job because you are afraid you won’t get another job? Or do you stay in your job because you are excited about the growth potential there? Do you stay in a relationship because you are afraid you won’t meet someone else, or you are afraid of hurting someone else? Or do you stay in a relationship because you are truly grateful the other person is in your life (and hopefully, vice versa). Every decision I have made has either been fear or growth. Not just big decisions but even the smallest decisions. And the fear-based decisions never worked out for me. When I made a fear based decision it was always because I was giving power to someone else. The growth-based decisions all resulted in miracles I could not have imagined. With growth-based decisions you feel it in your body: an expansion of your chest, ideas in your mind, a feeling of competence increasing. A feeling of freedom expanding. A growth-based decision becomes the story of your life later. A fear-based decision turns into regret."
