It appears that it is that time of year again, the time where I have to think about my choices for next year at university. As Thomas Merton once said:
“We must make the choices that enable us to fulfill the deepest capacities of our real selves.”
Yet how do I know which options to choose? How do I know that when the time comes I will not regret these choices?
The answer is, to take that risk.
A risk in itself, is a dangerous concept to think about. But to take it, multiple doors open and so many opportunities can arise. However not all risks can be positive. Just ponder for a moment; what risks should you take in life, and what risks are best left alone.
