Simplicity

It was an easy decision to get out of bed this morning, but every decision after that became lined with preemptive scrutiny and rational thought.

Is it safe to say that had I not gotten out of bed that things would have been different? Would that singular decision have affected the outcome of so many other concurring events in my life that the benefits would have outweighed the consequences?

Assume for a minute that you decided not to brush your teeth this morning... Apart from being despicably unorthodox and vile, it was still YOUR decision. Maybe later in the day you would regret it, but the decision, and the consequences, were YOURS alone. However the question still remains: Would it have made a difference?

Is the simple life led by those whom desire good and achieve it; who make decisions, and accept them? The outcome of our decisions should not haunt us, nor drive us to the scrutiny of others, but allow for a serene intervention of both feeling and thought to combine in effort to settle our existence in singular harmony. The consequences will always follow, but the decision, is only OURS to make...
