Sometimes when I think about my place in life, about how I ended up in a certain position, I ask myself a question - do I control the flow of the events, or I am but a sliver in the stream. I guess everybody wonders now and then how one influences his own life. I don’t have the right answer, only things I can do are to try and to hope. Try to do what I can, hope that it will mean something. Choices… We analyse available information, we try to predict the future and make the best one. The thing is that there are so many unknown factors, that decision which seems good at this point could do harm in the future. But the options are limited. Do nothing is not a solution. We are swimming in the river of our fears and hopes, regrets and dreams trying to make sense out of it. Is there any? I very much hope so.

Dear Lena!
The question of life control is crucial. If you decide, that you can do only so much, you will end up thinking “I can’t nothing”. But if you decide “I control my own life. My life is my own responsibility. I build it, I choose it, I do it.” then noone and nothing would be able to stop you. All the troubles then just become lessons for you on your way.
And remember, the options are unlimited!
thanks,
Ivan

Спасибо за очень искренний, философский постинг.
Меня еще всегда волнует цена выбора… Порой приходится платить за то или иное решение очень дорогую плату и ты задумываешься а стоит ли это того…

Да, это ты верно подметила. Дело еще в том, что мы часто не видим “большую картинку” (как любят говорить американцы), а только маленький ее кусочек. Поэтому иногда оценка наших поступков и цены, которую приходиться платить, меняется в перспективе.
