Choice

Gin or Whiskey.

That is my current dilemma.  Although, to be honest I could just do both.

If only the rest of my decisions were so easy.  For now, I can just chalk everything else up to 'figuring it out'.  But in reality I should just pick something and move forward.  Right now I've got my two writing projects.  Another one in the outline stage.  And?

And nothing else.  What ties these projects together?  Do they point a path forward?

So I make a decision.  That's just what needs to get done.  Pick something and move forward.  Is it really that simple?  Good enough, right?  I do really wonder if life can be that easy at times.  Everything else is just my own brain getting in the way.  That's the real problem with choice.  Things are a lot easier when we just get out of our own way.

But that's just for an easy life.  Not a good life.  Not a happy life.  Not a drama-free life.  None of that is guaranteed by the choices we make or the decisions we are presented with.  The reality is that external factors that hold sway over a large portion of our lives.  So, we get in our own way trying to reach for these things trying to anticipate what the World has in store for us.
