Choose Your Own Adventure...

Who Says You Cannot Go Back and Make a Different Choice?

Do you remember those novels that allowed you to 'Choose Your Own Adventure?' If you are either too old to have known about them or if you never had the good fortune of coming across one of them, every so often in the fictional novel the writer would ask you what the character should do.

You had options and you chose your preferred option, then turned to a certain page to see what happened as a result. Sometimes good things would happen, like if you chose to go out on a date and the woman turned out to be a perfect mate that was a beautiful millionaire with a great personality that you ended up marrying.

Sometimes bad things happened, like you chose to go out drinking with your friends instead and while one of your friends was driving you back home drunk, you got in an accident and all of you died.

There are two main types of ways to read 'Choose Your Own Adventure' books. One is to choose options until you die or live happily ever after, then consider the story over and put that book down and find another one to read.

The other way is to stick with one book and investigate all of the opportunities - going back and choosing different options and seeing whether making different decisions leads to better results each time something bad happens. One book could keep you occupied for the same amount of time a reader reading in the first manner needs ten books.

You can look back on good opportunities you passed up and see which ones you still need to investigate. Especially if they could lead to happiness and success. Or you can hit a road block and give up on continuing to choose your adventure and consider your life a duty instead of an adventure….a task instead of a game…work instead of play.

You can choose your own adventure if you want to. It is up to you to have enough courage to go back when you go forward in the wrong direction. If you stay on a losing path, who will you have to blame but yourself when you lose?
