Speaking of choice...

Deu 30:19… that I have set before you life and death …; therefore choose life…

Everyday of our lives, we either consciously make decisions to choose the better part, or we find it too hard to make a change, a decision and when we don’t make a choice, we unknowingly choose the bad part.

Personally, I feel our lives are like daily ‘forks’ on the road. Each wrong turn takes us a little away from the ‘right’, but too small to matter in a day; but yet when all these days add up, we one day find that we are really far away from the ‘right’ way already.

It’s really a daily choice to choose the right way. A little discomfort a day brings a reward like no other. It is uncomfortable, but yet nothing truly worth obtaining was ever gotten easily.

Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.

Truth is a question of fact. Whether we like it or not, truth is truth.

When you're lost somewhere in Woodlands, it doesn't matter what positive thinking, what positive self-talk you use. It doesn't matter if you believe you're in City Hall. The fact is, you're in Woodlands.

Sometimes the truth is uncomfortable, sometimes it requires us to do something we don't like to. But truth is not based on feeling, it is based on fact. It doesn't matter you don't like the fact you're in Woodlands, the truth is, you're in Woodlands. (No offence to people in Woodlands, I'm just using analogy. Ha).

Yet people choose to deny truth, because by acknowledging it means to change, means to let go of somethings in their lives. As the Chinese saying goes, zhong1 yan2 ni4 er3(the truth is hurting to the ear).

Faithful are the wounds of a friend, But the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.

But its like a person who just jumped off a tall building. He tries all means and ways to convince himself the law of gravity does not hold. But in the end it makes no difference what he thinks. The truth is, he's gonna hit the ground with a big splat.
