The future is always uncertain, and the now bares itself with choices to be made, which in time, will bring consequences in the future. Taking idle time to reflect this upon myself, I begin to wonder, why do I think so much about the future, and consequently, neglected the now. Hesitation is a sign of weakness, but no human being is without flaw. We fear what we couldn't handle, and fear even more when thrown into the unknown. There are so many things that could have been done during the period of our hesitation. I keep telling myself that, but my cowardice always gets the better of me. I want to do things that I would really like myself to do, but all the negative outcomes start pouring into my mind: Rejection, disappointment, grief, and the like. Even when I have decided to make that move, it would be too little, too late, considering the time I took to hesitate, which has eroded the opportunity that was once solid. If only things are simple, but that would make life a bore, wouldn't it?
On another perspective though, it's really quite simple. You make the choice, you live with the consequences. Everything comes at a price, so why hesitate when it wouldn't change anything. Humans seldom regret at the choices they made, most regret at the choices that they didn't make. Someday, I am going to learn how to hypnotize myself into doing things. There is only one good comment that will suit this situation: "Boy, get some man-balls!". Oh, and don't tell me that by not making a choice, I am already making one: choosing not to make a choice. It's more like a counter-choice. Well, hopefully the saying "better late than never" rings true when I need it.
