You have no idea what youre doing, yet you make all these crucial decisions every day. Its like driving at night with the headlights off & you have to keep going full-speed because thats how life is. You try to think through every possible action & outcome, like which college to pick, which job to go for, which supermarket to go to today, & should you really buy that pint of Ben & Jerrys? You dont know and youre a fool if you think you do. The best decision may actually be the worst one. Its like driving down a road you thought you knew & you think youre supposed to turn left at the next stop light, but what you dont know is that you missed the stoplight five miles back & theres no way to turn around. Our perspectives are so narrow that theres no possible way that any of us could consciously make the right decision about anything, yet we still try to because it gives us some false sense of control like we actually have a say in what happens to us. You can choose what you do, but you cant choose how that ultimately affects your life & its terrifying. You dont know how one simple choice could throw your whole life off balance. Stop trying to make everything work out perfectly. Loosen the death-grip on the steering wheel & enjoy the thrill of it. Live your life.
