Solitary thoughts

Was on a flight to Sydney this morning, trapped with nowhere to go and no one to talk to, and nothing else to do but stare out at the vast open skies. So blue, so beautiful and so mysterious.

And so, I was left to amuse myself. Started thinking, day dreaming, entertaining random thoughts about life, love, family, friends, and speculated on all the what-ifs in my life.

That's when I started thinking about choices. Isn't it weird that no matter what age you are, you shoulder the heavy responsibilities of making choices. And to live with the consequence of those choices you make. The result of those decisions stay with you for the rest of your life because life usually doesn't give you second chances. And turning back the clock is not an option, my friends.

Regret is painful to live with. You either rebel against that wrong choice/decision, or you submit to the fact that you don't have full control over your life. And that God Almighty has a plan for you, and God's plan is the best because He is the best of all planners. And no matter what choice you make - right or wrong, at any point in your life, He's always there to guide and to heal the pain.
