For what reasons do we choose? Is choice instantaneous? I think that it is, when it comes to personal choices that define you.

We are, at this very moment, who we are. We will be something different later. The question is, whether or not we will choose to be who we are at this very moment. Because we will only get one chance to live that moment, then it is gone.

Futuristically, we attempt to be something that we are not now but hope to be later. At first, nothing seems wrong with this. But then, if we fail to exist the way we ARE in the present, does this impact the way we are SUPPOSED to be, in the future? If we miss those moments, doesn't it throw us off track? Something seems to be lost, I think, otherwise there would be no value in living in the present.

The value, the purpose, I believe, is being the way we were MEANT to be. Perhaps we were designed this way. But we most certainly are the way we are now. To attempt to be something different can only ultimately make us unhappy.

Have you ever envied animals? I think that it is easy to do if you take the time to watch them.

There is a joy that is innate in our souls, something that lights up when we are "driven" to do something and we do it. A child sees a flower, picks it, and shows it to someone. No one told him to. He WANTED to.

And he did it.
