Choices

We all make hundreds of choices each and everyday without ever thinking. So why is there always one choice that stands out over the rest? That single one that could of changed your future path.
Are choices really that or are they destiny? Do we really have that choice to go left or right when we come to the fork in the road or are these so called decisions we think we are making preordained?
Has our future been planned out for us before we are born. Of course in saying this there comes that question if you believe in a greater being.
I am not a believer in a spiritual being out there guiding me on my path. I think that we decide as we go along which route we want to take.
I was once asked, "If you could change anything about your life, what would it be?"
I thought long and hard, because there are a lot of things I would love to change. Stupid mistakes, chances I should of taken or not so many things in my past I would like to change. Then I think, if I could make just one of those changes then where would I be today? Would I be happy? Would I be rich? Hell I could even be dead, of course that would mean I am not writing this right now.
No, I have to say that with all the choices I have made in life and as bad a some of them may of been, just changing one of those would of changed where I am today.
I would not be in place I love, with people I love, and that love me back.
To make a different choice would of put me on a different path and I am glad I never took that other path.
