In certain times or stages in life, we have to make pertinent decisions that can alter our paths in life, either to or away from the goal.
Everyone would have their reasons then for the decisions they have made. Strange thing is, at that moment in time, everything seems right. It is always after some time has passed, when the after effect is seen or felt, then we start reflecting whether it was the right decision.
Thus, for many, we will know whether it was the right decision or not, years down the road. Whereas for others, it maybe just accepting the decision they have made and living it. There maybe others, who may alter the decision they have made to suit the present needs.
In the end, whatever the decision may be, one has to face the consequence.
That is life ==> we sow what we reap.
