Each decision we make in this life leads us down a different path. We make choices every day that affect our future and more importantly the future of our children. We come to a fork in the road and are faced with a choice. Which path will we choose? How will we know what is right? Have you ever wondered how things might have been different if you had chosen the other path?
The decision to get divorced changed our lives forever. For most of us the decision was the right one. I sometimes wonder what life would have been like if my ex husband and I had stayed together, if we had never gotten married in the first place. There are a million “what ifs” out there, but if we focus on them we will drive ourselves crazy. We can’t go back and change the past. The decisions that we made then have made us who we are today. Who’s to say that the other decision would have been a better choice in the long run? We don’t know what would have happened had we done things differently. There are always bumps in the road no matter which path you choose. Some just seem to have a few more bumps than the others. In the end I don’t think we will be judged by the choices we made, but how we dealt with them. Did we do the best we could with what we were given? Did we always try to make the right decision for our family?
We are all given different trials and tribulations in this life, but it is what we do with them that really matters. Each trial helps shape us into the person we are supposed to be. In the end the choices we make today put us where we were meant to be tomorrow.
