DECISIONS AND CONSEQUENCES

285/365

I pass on the lessons I gleaned from a message I listened to about a fortnight ago:

Whenever consequences arise, our minds turn immediately to decisions.
We trace back to all the choices that could have played a role to arrive with the set of consequences which has manifested.

When you decide not to eat or sleep, you will get hungry and become sleep deprived. So this is what lies at the core, no one chooses consequences, we only make decisions. However, many of those decisions which we make in life come with the consequences already attached to them. They have been so woven into decisions that they are inseparable.

Therefore, decisions only act as the agreement to this effect ‘I make this choice and so happy to activate the consequence that comes with it’. Even if the decision is made in ignorance, the consequences will obey the decision.

Consequences though, are not always bad – they are simply the outcome of decisions. Therefore, the nature and quality of the decisions made determine the outcome of the consequences. Time won’t change this, it will only reveal it.

Hence, the three fold conclusion:

Because ‘Decisions decide destiny’,

‘Destiny is forged by the quality of decisions made’, however, ‘Every decision also activates consequences‘
