Remember when chocolate was your favourite ice cream? You love the rich taste and eat a bowl full although it gives you a severe migraine later on... People say Vanilla is the best but you hate it.. It’s too sweet and boring to switch from chocolate...One day you’re given a choice between Vanilla and strawberry... you don’t know how strawberry is like, but chose it over vanilla and realize its awful... Now since you chose it you have to eat the entire bowl anyway...
Wish you had vanilla instead? You already know the taste… At least it doesn't want to make you puke like strawberry does...you regret the fact you went for the pink flavour which you thought would be better than vanilla... But apart from the yucky taste what you hate most is the surprising little chunks of strawberry you get in middle...
Sometimes exploring opportunities is good. Sometimes it’s bad. Sometimes it’s horrifying. But you will never know how it will be unless you explore...
You will be stuck in a world of chocolate not knowing its the best if you wont taste vanilla and strawberry...
Then suddenly you taste butterscotch... You are amazed with the creamy taste plus it has caramel sauce on top of it with nuts... And the best part is, it doesn't give you that killer migraine… wonder what a fool you were to stick to chocolate, when you had that perfect perfect taste... will you still eat chocolate as a habit? i don't think so...
Some habits are inevitable. Some are not. Some are optional to change. What makes it hard is to realize the difference in between...
When you chose butterscotch over chocolate, does it mean you love butterscotch more? No, you are still that girl in the chocolate world...
Maybe there are times you don't always have to choose what you love most... you need to choose the best which suits you depending on where you stand..
You are still that chocolate girl who eats butterscotch…
Your favourite? is still chocolate...
What happens when you taste chocolate chip mint?????

life is a POLL where you have to vote between choices. Voting is easy... only if you know what to DECIDE...
"Nothing is more difficult, and therefore more precious, than to be able to decide." Napoleon Bonaparte once said. If you ask me who Napoleon is I might be confused and look stupid, but i whole heatedly agree to what he says.
When we were kids, we didn't have to make decisions; maybe that's why life was easy. The biggest worry at that time was which ice cream you need to eat during interval. Sometimes the whole morning can be spent on the decision of what you should eat. (that's for ice cream freaks like me;) when you grow up you have to make decisions, it sucks when you have to make decisions about PEOPLE.
After all, life is a POLL where you have to vote between choices. Voting is easy... only if you know what to DECIDE...
Sometimes decisions can be stupid, confusing and horrifying. Whom you should be friends with, whom you should select to continue friendships with, whom you should confide in, should you quit your job... sometimes you have to shut down people from your life. When you have to do that with people whom you were friends with, believe me it can be the toughest thing to do. But sometimes to move on, to be happy you need to shut down certain people out of your life.
There is a misconception among us that only weak people turn down chances without accepting, it is a weakness to reject and shut down. Always the "positive" decision is considered as the best one. But everyone forgets how hard it is to make the less favored decision (in the eyes of the world) and live with it.
When Sonia Ghandi turned down the position of the post of Prime Minister in India in 2004, Lot of expertise people said different things. She turned down the most powerful position in India. The most powerful position of which most people would die to have, and that exactly is where her STRENGTH lies in. Strength to deny the most powerful position, to lead a nation…
There comes a time when every life goes off course. In this desperate moment you must decide your direction. Will you fight to stay on the path while others tell you how wrong you are? Or will you just run away? Will you be honored by your choice?
"Every once in a while people step up, they rise above themselves. Sometimes they surprise you, and sometimes they fall short. Life is funny sometimes, it can push pretty hard, but if you look close enough you find hope in the words of children, in the bars of a song and in the eyes of someone you love"
Sometimes we need to accept decisions of others and respect them. It doesn't necessarily have to be the correct decision in our mind set, people think differently. After all it takes lot of thought, courage and effort for one to make a decision and stand by it. The rest of us should support without being judgmental…
