There are various choices that are more significant, either considered so at the time or in retrospect, that it leaves us with a linger question of what if no matter what we have decided upon. It is with those kind of choices that seems to haunt me the most. I tend to over analyze the situation and think too much about all the other available options and possible outcomes associated with each option. I know that not everything will turn out as planned or expected. I know that sometimes the many paths that you choose will end up at the same destination. Even though I keep these things in mind, the what ifs still constantly pops up in my mind. It is like an annoying alarm that won't seem to shut off.
So how do I turn off such a nuisance? I really don't have a clear answer for this question. I guess all I can really do is accept that which has already been decided. You can't live life by dwelling on the past. The past is the past, don't let it consume your present and future. If the outcome wasn't the one you were looking for either set about to correcting it or learn to not repeat it again.
