On Decisions

When The Morning Comes

At some point or another, everybody has to make decisions. The amount of decisions a single person makes in a day is incalculable; many are made within each minute that we don’t seem to notice.

The day starts out with a decision from the previous evening – what time to wake up. If one does not have an alarm clock, then they wake at their whim and in waking at their whim, they have made the decision of not making a decision.

I’m sure if you consider your morning routine, you will come up with all sorts of instances where your morning takes twists and turns in relation to your decisions. For the sake of brevity I will not detail them here, only list a few conscious and unconscious decisions:

- Shampoo in the shower – how much?
- Stay under the warm water for an extra five minutes or seize the day?
- Go to work / don’t go to work
- Make lunch for later / buy lunch later
- Stay in bed
- What to where (transportation) / What to wear (clothing)
- Toothbrush strokes

As you can see, the list is endless and can be broken down into almost every instance of one’s life; we must decide where to step and when, when to rise to the occasion and when to move on to the next thing.
