The Irony of Life: The Mix of Chances, Choices and Consequences II

Life is about chances, choices and consequences.  Your position today is based on the choices you made of your chances yesterday. If you desire more of today in tomorrow or you desire a better tomorrow you need to start making tough choices now.

Sandwiched between the chances that you have and the choices you make are your value system. Whether you chose to marry or remain single or you quit your marriage or stay in it, is based on your value system.

Whether you choose to look for a job or you want to be an entrepreneur, whether you stay in that job or move to another or you quit for a better life or to follow your passion is all down to your value system. It depends on whether you are a risk taker or you are just comfortable with predictable life. Your fear or gut becomes your value system with time so don't make excuses for your weaknesses.

You need to make tough choices because the choices will determine you in the coming days.

Most people go for the religious beliefs that reinforces their value system; most time religion do not transform men, men only look for a religion that is permissive of their personal traits and beliefs.We seek sect to promote our indulgence or idiosyncrasies and most time it is the same as belonging to a school of thought.

Those clouds of witnesses are there to remind and urge us on that we can repeat similar feats and even surpass them. The writer summed it up in the last verse that we can do better and those who have gone ahead of us are waiting and urging us to surpass those feats. They will be ridiculed if we cannot surpass them. They would be incomplete if we shrink in comparison to their achievements.  History does not limit us in any form and does not want us to shrink at all from such exploit. All history is about is for us to leverage on those feats and stand on the shoulders of those heroes to see further. History be...
