Do We Choose Things Every Day — Even When We Don’t Choose?
All that we choose or don’t choose always impacts us.
There are lots of choices I know that I take for granted.
For example — when I go to bed at night. When I get up in the morning. What I read every day. The time I spend on social media. What fencing practices to attend or not. Everything I eat and when. All exercise — great and small.
Each and every one of these is a choice made — or not. Most of them seem insignificant. And while they might be — choices accumulate.
Good choices create an accumulation of good things. Poor choices, meanwhile, accumulate poor things.
Deciding not to choose is not consequence-free.

How we approach all choices available to us — and how we choose them — will impact their effect on us.
