Let’s talk about stories. Not any kind of story, I want you to think on your story. When & Where, you were born? To whom and with whom? How were your parents with you? How was your childhood? What did you dream of? How was your life like and how is it right now? Do you like where you are now in life right now? Just have a thought on it, pause if you want to.
Now, you have become this wonderful person (trust me you are wonderful). But to become this person, you would have faced a lot of struggles. You had to make a lot of decisions. In everyday life, you are met with so many choices and those choices decide how our life moves. But if we think upon it, how much of a choice do we really have. That is where the concept of free will and determinism comes into play.
What is determinism? What if everything in life is pre-determined? When and where you were born, your parents, your siblings. Life revolves around the situations that you face, the thoughts that arise in your mind, the choices and the decisions you make in life. You might turn out to be an entirely different person if any of the above-mentioned things happened differently. Yes, it is scary at times, to think about the “freedom to choose”. But the thing is, even if it is all pre-determined, one can never know what is determined until it actually happens.
Thus, don’t let yourself be limited by all those things that were not your decisions to make. Instead, now you have the opportunity to choose and create the life that you dream of. Use privileges of your life to your advantage. Instead of blaming the state you are in right now, choose to change your circumstances. What if you achieving, your dreams is what is pre-determined?
Make the hard choices to build the life you want. You can never know if you win or lose until you actually play the game.
