Choices

 Choices made in Life.

Life ,the moment a person lets out  first Cry....announcing arrival in World,is challenging and interesting.
The moment we are born, each day is new,....we have to learn everything....for our survival and growth.
Right from adjusting to the new environment, followed by milestones.....
As we grow up,....enter outside world.....different environment from our homes,new people....new challenges....more adjustments.
As we start moving from different phases of life,....
Life throws various Choices.

Choices to choose.

Whatever we choose at that moment of times.....decides our life in future......
The Choices we make at every phase....and at each situation of life.....decides the path and journey of our Life.

When I was in education phase of Life.....
Age and hormones....
Peer pressure and Environment.....
So many situations came into my life....
Teenage,Youth.....
Phases brought multiple challenges and moments....
Which enticed and lured me....
Which evoked and provoked me.....
Yes,all of us are put in situations where we have to make Choices......
My Parents ,Ajji and strict Teachers.....the environment around me guided me to only focus on my studies, enterance exams,extra curricular activities.
They protected me from making wrong Choices which lured that tender innocent minds.

After education phase,came Adulthood.
This phase,matures our thought process and opens doors to even more Choices in Life.
This phase doesn't have people controlling our decisions towards the Choices in Life.
My Father,Friends and Mentors influenced me to make " Right Choices" .
I chose Anaesthesia as Career....after discussion with Mentors.
Friends helped in not get drawn towards Temptations in Life.
Parents supported me when tough situations were thrown....when I was tired,angry,or frustrated by the long hours of duty and overwork in the Department.
Marriage.....another Turning point and most important Decision....after Career....

Choices.....we make here....Partner we have to choose.....
A lifelong commitment.
Here ,I decided to allow my Appaji to search prospects for me.
Yes.I chose " Arranged Marriage ".
Marriage, according to me,is not just union of 2 people falling in love.
Marriage is when 2 Families come together .

This Phase nobody...neither Family, Parents, Friends,Mentors....control your Decision. Nor can they Force nor Influence.
Only Opinions are given.
But final Decision to Choose.....
Choice I made.....was entirely mine.

Motherhood and Family of my own.....
This phase.....it's not my individual choice.....

2 people who decide to get married and start a Family....

Henceforth, whatever Choices and Situations life throws .....
Choices and Decisions are made as a Team....as a Couple.
From now on....many lives depend upon our Choices....
The Choices Henceforth we make....at every moment, every situation, every challenge....every step we take.....
Affects and Influences the life journey of not only us as individuals....but it affects our partner,children, parents, friends, relatives....entire environment around us.

Freedom to choose maybe there after Adulthood..due to independence and maturity.
But with each passing of age....the Responsibility increases.
Responsibility of self....but more towards Partner,Children, Parents.

Choices made .....is completely our prerogative. Our Decision is our individual Right.
But  Choices made today....one must always keep in mind....decide our life journey and path..tomorrow..our future.

Choices need to be made wisely and not on Emotions...in anger,in vengence ,hatred,pity.....or just get carried away or impulses. 

Choices made not to repent or blame tomorrow. 

Choices made with outcomes accepted gracefully tomorrow. 

Teach oneself to Make Right Choices.
Teach our Kids to Make Right Choices......
