Choice Archives - The Ideal Myth

We have often heard that whatever happens to us is the result of the choices we made. It is true for a fact. Somewhere we are responsible for our choices and it is important to make a choice for our life. The good things, the bad experiences, sorrow, grief, happiness, success, failure and all the things are result of the choices we made. The life we get today is by the choices we made in the past and the life we will have in future will be by the choices we will make today.

Life is not a random series of events, but a reflection of the choices we make big and small.

Every decision shapes our path, influences our experiences, and determines our direction. Whether we realize it or not, the life we are living today is largely the result of the choices we made in the past, and the life we will live tomorrow depends on the choices we are yet to make.

From the relationships we nurture to the careers we pursue, to the habits we form-our decisions act like the bricks in the foundation of our lives. While we cannot control every circumstance, we can always control our response. That response, in itself, is a choice.

Blaming fate or external forces often feels easier, but it also strips us of our power. When we own our choices, we take back control of our narrative. We start to recognize that growth, change, and even healing begin the moment we decide differently.

So whether it’s the past that brought us to this point or the future that lies ahead, one truth remains: our choices matter. Each day offers a new opportunity to choose better, wiser, and with greater intention because in the end, our lives are shaped not by what happens to us, but by how we choose to respond.

Choose your future: Your tomorrow is nothing but the result of your choices made today

Every decision we make today is an investment in the life we’ll live tomorrow. Whether big or small, each choice sets a direction, forms a habit, or creates momentum toward a future outcome. The life we dream of isn’t built in a single moment- it’s built one choice at a time.

Think about it: choosing to eat healthy today influences your health tomorrow. Choosing to study, work hard, or stay disciplined shapes your career and financial future. Even decisions about how we treat others, how we react to challenges, or how we spend our free time play a part in defining our character and future relationships.

Often, we underestimate the power of daily decisions because the results aren’t immediate. But just like compound interest, the effects of consistent, intentional choices grow over time. One good decision won’t change everything—but a pattern of them will.

The future isn’t something that just happens to us-it’s something we actively create. So if you want a life of meaning, success, and fulfilment, start by being mindful of the choices you’re making today. Because tomorrow always begins with today.

How to Live Life

Your future self is shaped by what you decide now- choose wisely.

We all must have once been into this discussion of what is the more appropriate thing to do. Whether it is a wise thing to do a job or to do a business. There are different opinions, viewpoints and perceptions of people towards this choice between doing a job for someone or doing your own business or being self-employed.

First of all, the concept of the ideal is a myth. It is a myth that certain things, situations, ideas or beliefs can be ideal. There is always a difference of opinion of some kind.

For one fresh graduate, getting a job that fulfils his need for money and financial security is the right thing. He might feel the risk involved in the business more than the stable job. For another fresh graduate, he might be seeing the risk but also positive about the opportunity and rewards for taking the risk.

When we talk about the choice between Job or business, there are many factors that play in between. Even there is no such thing as business always gets you more money and not the job. Also, it is not just about money, it is more about the satisfaction one gets out of it.

There cannot be one ideal thing that all can follow, but there can be a right thing for an individual which is more appropriate to them according to their skills, situation, personality and need.

It is also important to get into something which you are actually inclined to and not because somebody has a favorable outcome. If you’re willing to do business just because someone got successful in something. Also, if someone is progressing quickly into his current job doesn’t mean that everyone doing the same job would progress likewise. To have progress and be successful in the choice you make, You have to make a choice for the alternative that is more appropriate for you, suits your skills, fulfil your needs and you actually want to do it.

Factors that determine what is more appropriate in deciding the right choice: –

Depends on Individual

Identify your strengths and weakness, it will help you evaluate that what is more suitable for you. An entrepreneur might not be able to get the best results being an employee of the company. And a skilled employee may not be always become successful as an entrepreneur.

Each has its pros and cons

There is nothing wrong with being practical. You have to ensure that what would be the pros and cons of making a choice for any of the things.

Motivation

What motivates you best is the right thing for you. If you don’t feel motivated being an entrepreneur and it doesn’t excite you then there are very less chances that you can become successful in it. If an atmosphere of job, financial security and less risk feels more suitable and motivates you, then it is the right thing for you. It all depends on what motivates you more.

Myth about limitations

It is a myth that there are limitations in any of the choices. You don’t have to worry about any limitations. Till the time a person is dedicated and keen on doing his best by pushing themselves, no limitations would come in between getting success.

Current needs

Your current situation and need also are important factors to decide the right thing for you. Your present circumstances, financial condition, responsibilities, and future needs play an important factor for you to decide the right thing for the present. If you’re keen on doing business but your circumstances demand you to have financial stability, you can get a job. You always have a choice to switch when you have available resources and security.

The grass is always greener on the other side

It is an old saying that grass is always greener on the other side. We always see another person in a more comfortable and better position. It might not be right always. A person doing the job might envy the freedom of an entrepreneur and an entrepreneur might envy the limited burden of a person doing the job.

Verdict: You don’t have to look for the ideal thing, you have to focus on the right thing for you to do.
