There was something about the four-hour trip I have had this past weekend. I would never forget that brief 20 minutes or so I was sitted at the front seat of the bus when I was nearing home.
Anyway, I always tell my colleagues and friends that our place is just beside the main highway. So if I get off the bus I'd simply say to the driver or his assistant to pull off at the triangle "slow down, school zone" signboard because our house is just two houses away from a public elementary school.
Remarkably at that Saturday eve, the highway presented itself like it was a trailer of a long awaited film I would love to watch from the windshield of the bus.
Part of the "National Highway" with its two lane - its right and left lanes seemed magnified right before my eyes. This crude image retained a relevance in my mind. I always used to think that there are two paths to be taken in any road. Meaning when someone is about to make a decision, there would always be two options. Its either you have to choose the good over the bad, best than better, right over wrong, road less taken or the road majority chose, the grandest over the ordinary and the list can go on.
Then, the vivid illustration suddenly spoke to me.
"You always looked at things as two separate matters. You never see the big picture, the whole of it."
At that instant a spark of truth finally dawned on me. An awakening!
It does not matter which option or path you choose for there is only one main highway to get to our destination. But it's not the end point either. For “
One's destination is never a place but rather a new way of looking at things.”
Making right decisions has perpetually left me indecisive for too long. I prefer making choices in haste. I realized those were the times I chose without hesitancy nor apprehension. A certain gut feeling which is somehow right. However, there are decisions to be made in deep thought. Being clear-headed helps one to select the best and final choice at an inevitable moment.
Lately, I had been contemplating on keeping or dismissing this blog. Also came to a point where I have to choose between network marketing and direct selling. My consistency in the latter field and its attainability has lured me to be occupied with it in the passed few months. Though I know the first endeavor has its long term advantages, I prefered practicality and the realistic attainment of my goals in direct sales. But having a deep understanding now, whatever I pursue will become a part of who I was, who I am and who I will be in subsequent time. 'Cause as Albert Camus puts it, "Life is the sum of all your choices."
