Decision-making

At what point in our life do we stop making the hard decisions? Or is this something that we continue to do our whole life and the fact that other people seem to be happy and focussed is the result of their difficult decisions?

Is it that we just never see the choices they make because everyone only has a few trusted people who see the depth of the anguish and doubt that besets them. Something to think about.

I think these are the decisions that define us and that we should take the time to think about them and never be loath to make them. I regret not thinking about some of my choices about my future in the past, but that has led me to where I am today, where I am in a position to make the choices I need to. So, I guess everything happens for a reason.
For friends reading this I am not in crisis, I am just thoughtful and excited about what the future holds, something I never thought I would admit.

General comment on life

I was just thinking of where I was in my life. I suddenly realise that I am content and happy at the moment. I mean, obviously not completely happy or content, but enough. I don't think we should ever be completely anything, life would be so boring.

But, somehow in the midst of all the angst and worry I have somehow made it to a point outside. I know at so many times you wonder where you are going, or wonder if you could have another shot at life. Should I have made this decision, should I have taken that path, where am I going, I'm useless, I've wasted my life?

Somehow, take a chance, take a step and see what happens. If you had of asked me in about March if I thought I would be happy like this or have grown into who I am now I would have said no, I have no idea where I am going, I have no idea if I will even make it. But somehow it happened. So, keep looking for that light at the end of the tunnel, and take a break for a while before continuing your journey. But, to be more realistic, tunnels are dark, maybe you should more imagine a campsite/inn along a long winding path in the gentle sunshine with storms occasionally raging around.

Look Both Ways

As usual I seem to have left quite a large gap in my entries, oh well, life happens.

I just wanted to recommend a film that I saw last night down at Cinema Nova.

Look Both Ways.

I highly recommend the film to anyone that has ever wondered about death, or thought about how they would deal with it (or have dealt with it), so pretty much everyone. It was slightly uncomfortable sitting through the film, probably because I got so drawn into the lives of the characters. But, I guess that is the hallmark of quality movies, they make you feel uncomfortable and think about issues that you normally let your mind skirt.

So, a good thought-provoking Aussie film. Go see it.
