Options versus Opportunity

Life is full of options. People are always surrounded by multiple options every single day. As a basic, to live or to die is also an option. I believe many of us choose the first one. That’s why you can read this mail. Some also choose the second one. If there are no options, life will be difficult. Just imagine your school exams. Papers with optional answers seem to be easier than papers without optional answers. From the food we eat, cloths we wear, vehicle that we use up to our life partner was a choice. It would not be a choice if there is no option. Today I am a happily married man with one kid. That is an option which I took. Sometimes, our option might not lead to what we wanted at first place. Not everybody choosing the right options all the time in their life. Some don’t even know what options available to them. When we were born, we were fed by our parents. We did not have any options to choose what we want at that time. When we grew up, we were shown options such as cloths, toys etc. We choose what we like. When we were teenager, we found our own options and choose on our own accord. Some went wrong and some went good. After graduation, we were presented many options via media on how to succeed in life. We choose to work and current job was one of the options which we took few years back. So, all the consequences that we are facing now due to our selected option previously are merely our own responsibility. Nobody to blame as others only showed options. We choose it.

Precious options sometime do not show it to many people. We have to hunt for the options. At some time, we need to create the options. Some options will only come once in a life time. For example, if I want to be rich, debt free and have a lot of spare time, definitely there will be options for it. But I need to look for it. First of all, decide what you want. Then don’t look but HUNT for the options. It might be hiding in your own closet (I mean should be around you). Best options will always come in camouflage. It will not reveal itself until you are ready to accept the options. It will always knock your door very quietly. Make sure you are ready to open the door when it knocks. Path of success is ONE WAY TICKET and no way back. Once you started your journey in path of success, don’t ever look back. But make sure the path you are going is really path of success or else, it will be a painful journey.
