Making the wrong decision

So often in life there are those times when a person will come to a crossroads.
I am not speaking of a literal intersection that they just pass on their way to work everyday, but I am talking about the dreaded "fork in the road".
Here...
this is what one looks like in case you are still unfamiliar with this abstract idea that I'm referring to.
Throughout history, there have been many instances in famous stories, when some of the world's great heroes have had to make the dreaded decision of which side of the fork to take.
There are quite literal examples such as the Wayne Knight (Newman) character in the epic and splendid Jurassic Park, where he is forced to turn one way or the next, just before the moment where he is eaten in a ferocious attack by the Spitt-a-sourus.
There are also of course, the metaphorical times when a person is not literally at a "fork in the road", but never the less needs to make an all important decision that involves doing one thing, and not another.
It is these pivotal moments where people's lives will change for the better or the worse. Where the Joes separate themselves from the Blows.
Everyone has the right to make whatever decision they want. Everyone has the right to make the wrong decision if they want to.
Why would you make the wrong decision though? Indecision is no help either. Look at Newman. He was eaten in his car while deciding which way the dock was, poor bastard.
There are times when it is right to exercise your rights simply because you have them and want to prove a point. There are other times when the consequences of making the bad decision are just to dire to take that chance.
So I ask all of you, when you come to a fork in the road and need to make that decision, ask yourself, "Is this the wrong decision?"
Then ask yourself, "why am I making this wrong decision?" |

No decision is "wrong" if you come out of it having learned from your "mistake".

That's just something people tell themselves to make them feel better about where things could have been. |

Maybe people who aren't willing to be accountable for their life. |

I recently made what some people would call a 'wrong' decision. I left the club I was currently dj'n at for a new one that opened in town. It closed down within a month and now I'm not spinning anywhere. You learn from your mistakes, that's what makes you who you are.
"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." - Mark Twain |

Wasn't meant to be a freak out discussion, but more of a motivating one, to avoid making bad decisions.
Think of it like the start to a bad decision avoidance support group.
Sort of like how people who believe in fairies have their chant, "I do believe in fairies, I DO BELIEVE IN FAIRIES"...
...we can yell at one another saying for example...
"Hey Jennypie, way to go on wearing a bra to this year's sunset set, I'm happy that you made the right choice" |
