choices and opportunities

we all get choices in life and opportunities to choose from

sometimes we are able to see such opportunities

sometimes we are unable to do so

and sometimes the opportunity comes without us knowing

and the whole course of how things go in in life unfolds afterwards

there are also times where you find yourself in a certain setting 

with a certain status in life

if that setting and status were the ones that you were hoping to achieve 

you look back and you gaze upon that as an achievement

if it was not you will surely ask your self how did you get there?

i share with you again a personal story that happened to me 

just today 

recently i got the call from a company offering me a job

while i was waiting for an international internship program

which i have registered for before this

which was quite confusing to begin with

you want something and then something else comes along

which was unexpected

of course i personally fought with doubts

should i choose this or choose that

and i also thought of the long term implications for such actions that i would take

(of course you should not think of the outcome for anything in life and go where ever you are taken)

i also reached out to friends for help 

of course they did not hesitate to help me out

and they told me on their part to choose 

accordingly and move towards the choice 

and forget the outcome 

little did i know that circumstances can have its own way with things

it may present to you an opportunity 

but gives you better ones while you don't know

it may take it from you but only

to give you something else which makes you move forward towards what you really want

and i personally say

be open to what life may give you 

if you did not get what you wanted in the first place

you can always move yourself towards what you wanted

which ever way you want

what ever possible path you choose

just remember that opportunities open infinite number of other opportunities

its like a hidden opportunity inside an opportunity

ps thank you friends who have helped me in guiding me to my path

this article is dedicated to you all =)
