Day 83 - Options

Life is filled with infinite possibilities. What a wonderful fantasy.

From the moment of conception our lives are framed. Not preordained, but bounded by circumstances and the decisions we make.

Only a couple of miles separate Beacon Hill from Fields Corner in Dorchester, yet the spectrum of opportunities offered by each are worlds apart. Infinity is filtered by our origins and our actions.

A decision is to cut off other options. What is decided for us and by us filters future states. Like a map, at each junction a choice is made: north, south, east, or west. Unlike a map, we can not go back in time and undecide. Once made the range of choices is constrained for the next step.

Good choices come from experience,
Experience comes from bad choices.

Good choices can also come from the random luck of coincidence or a serendipitous observation. Entropy can play both for us and against us. The Butterfly Effect suggests that no action is too insignificant to play a role in determining our future.

Plan for the future,
    Live for today,
        Make the best deal you can get!
