We know ourselves more by the independent
choices we make. Compromised choices often are reluctant choices that sometimes
leave a trace of anger. "Why did I agree to make that choice? I don't like
that feeling very much. I don't feel good", especially when the results
might not be palatable.
Well, it is normal to feel this way. We are
all free spirits who , by nature, don't want controls. And yet, we have them
everywhere ever since we are born. In childhood, they are thrust on us because
we don't know any better. And soon, this becomes routine until you start asking
"why".
When you make your own choices, you take
ownership of those choices, whether they work out for you or not. That is the
right learning process. There is no chance of throwing the blanket at anyone
else here because you were solely responsible for the choice. And actually,
it's good because that's how we grow.
