Bowling for Life..
I walk towards the balls.. looking at them.. green, yellow and what is this color.. trying to squinch my eye.. I start holding one after the other.. this is heavy.. i don't need a heavy ball right now..i put it back and try that pink one.. numberrrrr 7 was it? no its too light.. this purplish one looks good.. i place my fingers and let my hand drop to the floor... strengthining my tricpes and biceps to see how heavy the ball would be.. and yes.. this is the one.. i let my hand swing while holding the ball for a final check .. and satisfied.. i have the smile of content on my face.. i carry the ball and take the first step towards.......
During our daily life, we have to make many decisions. We are exposed to many choices.. some of which are so favorable and others are of which are so difficult.. somes we'd rather take blindly and others need a lot of effort from us..We screen the choices we have .. think about them and maybe research how good they could be. ....we close our eyes.. visulaize the consequences.. feel them with all our sense.. and step forward with our choice in our hand and the belief that its the right choice.. it might not be the best.. but its certainly the one that suits us...we inhale.. and go ahead.. take that step forward..
My legs felt heavy wondering if this balls was the right choice.. i focused my eyes on the middle pin.. taking steady steps towards it.. swinging my arm backwards and i take a wider step slowly getting the ball closer towards my chest .. lowering my back and bending my knees.. i focus hardly.. my thumb faces the pin... and quickly.. everything happens at once.. i reach the end, lower my hand quickly backward, pushing with all the strength i have, focusing again, and the ball slides on the lane.........leaving me going towards the pin..
Once we choose, there is a slight chance we could change our decision and go back...but we are certain this is it.. we move on.. towards our objective and goals.. with all the energy we have and all the strength..in some cases we'd be weak.. but we try.. because we are looking towards our aim.. thats our objective over there..we move.. with fast steady steps.. so confident.. we put our faith in God and move .. faster .. focusing.. and we DECIDE...
Troom troom troom.. the ball slides on the lane.. i wonder if it will hit the pin.. or will it fall in the gutter? i hope not.. but in case it did.. i will try again...over and over again until i succeed.. oh, its going towards the pin.. i feel so happy.. so releived but how many of them would it throw? two? 5? a strike?
Working towards your objective could be affected by different factors. Most of the cases we are supposed to "na5ith bel asbab" and use all the resources available in order to guarantee a good result.. if not the best.. but sometimes.. we might have miscalculated few things.. or feel that we are over confidednt.. but lets just hope that our decision was right and its our step towards reaching our goals.. our dreams.. but will we accomplish them all.. or would we be satisfied with few.. or one goal would be enough? in all cases.. once we make a decision, taking in consideration all the other factors.. all what we have to do is wait for the consequences .. hopefully they'd be as good as we expected.. and if not... we always have another chance..
And it hits the pin dropping with it 4 others ... *sighs* am releived.. am satisfied..not so much yet .. at least its better than falling in the gutter .. i'll try again.. i have another chance..don't i.. i can play this game forever until am an expert ... with experience and help.. i sure will reach a point i'd strike from the first time....
We work a lot, think often, and wonder in many cases if our decision was the right one.. but once we take action on it... its very hard to go back again. We see our goals infront of us.. how good we are would be reflected on how 'successful we were in reaching our objective.. Sometimes, the result is not as we expected.. not as close to what we expected.. but there is no harm in trying again .. over and over again.. taking all the chances we have until we reach there.. to our dream.. to our goals.. sooner or later.. as long as we are so stubborn and work hard using all what we have from technology and education and experience.. then we sure will reach those goals... sooner or later..
A Last Dot:
Whenever we succeed with one goal.. our priorties change and another goal would arise.
Always spin the ball of life.. be an expert..

You know that even the smallest decisions can make all the difference and the largest impacts? I remember seeing a show about it on TV, scientists actually researched this decision taking process. The example they used was this:
Let's say that for your morning breakfast you had the choice of drinking tomato or orange juice. If you took tomato, your day will go as normal. If you took orange though, it'll spill on your outfit and will make you late for work or whatever, it'll make someone shout at you, you'll be in a bad mood and do something you'll regret. Who knew that a simple choice such as choosing which drink to have could influence something like whether you have a good day or bad?
It's all about choices ;)
"We work a lot, think often, and wonder in many cases if our decision was the right one.. but once we take action on it... its very hard to go back again."
Sometimes it's just so easy to break from ur decision and go back.. it's up to you whether you want to keep up your strength or not.
as long as we are so stubborn and work hard using all what we have from technology and education and experience.. then we sure will reach those goals... sooner or later..
may God give us all strength :) to acheive our goals.
