Existentialism tells us we are the sum total of our choices; but, how do we decide what choices we are to be offered?

Wow! what a question! We have as many choices as we believe we have, but when we are in extreme hardship situations we may come to believe we have no choices.

If we create our own reality, we also create our choices. We decide for reasons which make sense to us, but might not seem sensible to another. We all have our own criteria. For me, the question revolves around what will best help me continue to learn and grow? If I am doing my best to be my best person, then I will also be doing what is best for others. So I look for choices which lead to growth and learning.

peace and love,
