Gaze into the near future

Life as we know it follows the arrow of time from the present to the unknown future. Due to the lack of knowing what we truly want we tend to consider whatever happening in our life as fate, no matter how wrong it could be, or how obvious the current situation at hand is messed up. Sometimes may be the fate is occurring. But, there’s a ‘BUT’ to it: what if what’s going on are just the consequences of your choices.

Choices are like the compass you rely on, not knowing how to read your compass doesn’t rule out the fact that the compass will not show you the direction anyway; even if it would be a wrong direction. Any choice you will make will likely have an outcome which implies to the possibilities of different versions of you in the near future.

What if you can map out the choices you had made in your past up to now? What if you were to make the analysis from any critical time of your life you can recall and found out big WHYs of how one thing led to another? May be you can discover that it wasn't fate at all; as Carl Jung put it "Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate". you didn't just happen to loose, it started somewhere; you didn't just happen to succeed it had a starting point.

Assume you gaze enough in those mapped choices that you printed on a paper where you can see well how who you turned out to be now is simply a summation of your choices. You can realize that the lack of your attention in your understanding of the whole spectrum of your choices doesn’t constitute any tolerance in the pages of your personal history. You reap what you saw.

From that point of view, you would ask yourself if there’s any available leverage you can use to at least end up in the possible best version of you with the least maneuvering style to buy you time; as you read this you might have already covered half of your life or more.

The leverage would be in understanding how the end is always carried from the beginning. Any choice carries its aftermath events, although life has an open end due to our lack of comprehending every aspect of our life in all details.

Assume your already lived life was a trial, which by the way was; do you really want the other half to be same? Or you want something different? You will not just happen to be extra ordinary over night--you will have to put in some extra ordinary effort.

In a deterministic system the end is known before the beginning, the beginning and end co-exist in the same period without any further advancement along true time- this is a close-end system. I am not suggesting to consider life literally from this perspective, since life is an open-end.

A human being fundamental choices constitute his moral standards which may tell more about the boundaries of their comprehension regarding how they are conducting their life.

You don't reason beyond the perimeters of what you understand. it is what it is "if you don't know, you don't know".

However, if every choice has its own contribution in the overall outcome of who you turn out to be in a certain period of time; at least paying extra attention and unlearn a lot from your behavioral cloud which led you to be who you don't like from your past can reduce the bill in the time ahead.

Gaze enough in the already lived life, spot what doesn't work, unlearn what you know is wrong, try to understand as much as you can of what choices your life is revolving around. Make the unknown in your small circle of life known; a lot of of what's unnecessary will filter themselves out in life.
