Making the right choice

It struck me the other day that a lot of life is about learning to make choices that enhance your quality of life. What do I mean by that you may be asking yourself.

Let me explain....

After a life changing event some months ago, I realised that the only thing stopping me from doing what I wanted to do was me! For example, we all know that we should eat a more healthy diet, but when presented with the choice of a fat, juicy, sauce dripping burger or a healthy herb salad, well lets just say I haven't always made the choice my Dr would approve off!

But that is the beauty of simple truths is that we make our own choices in life whether we are aware of what we are doing or not. The significance of this is that each choice you make (whether the right, wrong or just don't know) has an impact on you and those around you.

Thinking about these decisions and how easy we make them is key to understanding how to change your life and make a difference. I choose to eat healthy rather than choosing to eat rubbish. I choose to use the car less rather than driving every where. I choose to share my thoughts on this blog rather than do nothing.

Choices are simple, but their effects are infinite.

Quiet air of authority

My wife and I recently attended a friend’s wedding reception where I was asked to help out by filming the proceedings as I was the only one with a video camera. This was not a problem as it gave me an opportunity to go around an talk to the guests (most of whom I did not know).

I spent a lot of time going around and filming people and getting them to leave video messages for the happy couple. All pleasant enough, but the constant close observation through the camera's viewfinder gave me quite a bit of a headache .

When I returned to my table, I was a bit subdued and did not join in much of the conversation. One of the guest at the table leaned over and remarked to my wife that "your husband is very quiet, he has a quiet air of authority about him" to which my wife replied "no, he is just vacant!"

Life's little graces, eh!
