Theme in OD

So, this weeks theme question is: What seemingly inconsequential decision did you make, or what seemingly inconsequential event occurred in your life, that ended up profoundly changing your life?

And just as I argued that it’s pointless wanting to change sonmething in your past my thesis here is this question is unanswerable.

The reason for that is in the question. Seemingly inconsequential. It is my personal belief that short of deciding what socks to put on of a morning every choice that a person makes and every event has significance. It cannot be any other way. Every choice we make, every event we take part in has a role in shaping what we become and who we are.

The trick is to reverse this and treat every choice we make and every event as if it is of no consequence. The alternative is to live your life making no choices. Which is a waste of a life.

Or you could just curl up in a ball, keening to yourself.
