#Things to consider

  1. We measure our lives using different markers: years, major events, achievements. We can also measure them by the choices we make, the sum total of which has brought us to wherever and whoever we are today.
  2. When we speak of choice, what we mean is the ability to exercise control over ourselves and our environment. In order to choose, we must first perceive that control is possible.
  3. What you see determines how you interpret the world, which in turn influences what you expect of the world and how you expect the story of your life to unfold.
  4. The writer Flannery O’Connor reportedly said, “I write to discover what I know.” Perhaps we can take a page from her book and say, “I choose to discover who I am.”
  5. Even if you’re trying to go against the grain or simply don’t care about clothes, your choices will still be shaped by the trends of the moment.
