We go through life making decisions everyday and most of these decisions determine, to a large extent, how we live - be it where to go for dinner, what to wear to the office or who to go out with on Saturday night. Most of these decisions are made with our subconscious minds and some are so routines we hardly give them much thought.

However, there are times in our lives when we are faced with decisions that will completely change the course of our lives, and it is during these times when we sit down and ponder over our choices and alternatives: a new car, a new home, a girl/boyfriend, a life partner. I have come to this conclusion that for most of us, for most of the time, we know which decision we would make, and we only delay in making it for the sake of giving ourselves more time. This is so that if it turns out that it was a wrong decision, we can at the very least say that we had given it enough thought and consideration.

We will always be faced with decisions that we have to make, whether we want to or not. The thing is that we have a choice. It might turn out to be a good choice; it might turn out to be a bad one. But having the power to choose at that moment in time, we would have to live with the consequences of our decisions.

No use thinking of what could have been, for it has come to past and no amount of thinking can revert the situation.

When people ask me if I ever regretted making a wrong decision, I always give them the same answer.

No regrets.

Okay, so sometimes even the best of us make rash decisions. Bad decisions. Decisions we pretty much know we're going to regret the moment, the minute, especially the morning after. I mean, maybe not regret, regret because at least, you know, we put ourselves out there. But still. Something inside us decides to do a crazy thing. A thing we know will probably turn around and bite us in the a**. Yet, we do it anyway. What I'm saying is...we reap what we sow. What comes around goes around. It's karma and any way you slice it ... karma sucks. Oh yeah!

One way or another, our karma will leave us to face ourselves. We can look our karma in the eye or we can wait for it to sneak up on us from behind. One way or another, our karma will always find us. And the truth is, we have more chances than most to set the balance in our favor. No matter how hard we try we can't escape our karma. It follows us home. I guess we can't really complain about our karma. It's not unfair. It's not unexpected. It just ... evens the score. And even when we're about to do something we know will tempt karma to bite us in the a** ... well, it goes without saying. We do it anyway.
