decisions & CONSEQUENCES

This topic has been on my mind a lot recently, I just haven't had time to blog about it with the semester finishing up.
                side note- spring semester is officially over! I took my last final this morning and I am completely free now.. well for two weeks until summer semester starts, but for the time being, I am LOVING this feeling. 
Okay back to my original thought.  Life is full of decisions. From the trivial items as to what am I going to wear today to life changing decision like where to go to school, what to major in and one of the biggest decisions, who to marry. Without fail ALL of our choices are followed with consequences and unfortunately, the result of our choices are out of our control. I'm not saying that consequences are always bad consequences can be GREAT, but  good or bad, they come whether we like it or not.
DECISIONS are always followed by CONSEQUENCES. 
"EASY" concept to grasp.  
As I have gotten older I have realized that my choices not only effect me, but they effect others around me. I have learned that it is selfish of me to put my wants and needs before others without considering the effects it will have on the ones I care about.
Decisions and consequences shouldn't be such a hard concept, but when we get caught up in the moments of life we usually act without thinking of the outcome. Sadly, we cannot take back our actions and we are forced to live with the consequences generated by our actions. Gratefully, we learn from our choices and how we react to our situations aids in our character progression.
Loving this quote by Hemingway. 
I am extremely grateful for the opportunities I have in life to make my own choices and work through the outcomes, good or bad. I have definitely learned many lessons from this "simple concept" and look forward to many more lessons life has in store for me.
