Choices

In today's world, we have choices. A lot of choices. You want a drink? There is water, milk (skim, 2%, whole), juice (apple, orange, cranberry,etc) or soda (regular, diet, pepsi, coke). Are you a mac or a pc? You want to go to college? You can go public, private, liberal arts, science, whoever will take you, etc... There are so many options we face, its hard to decide sometimes. The world has gotten so cluttered with stuff, it can be difficult to know what is right for you. If you are lucky, you can figure out what you need before you get lost in the shuffle. Companies and advertisers seem to attack those of us who aren't sure what they are doing yet, and hope to attract them with catchy slogans or incentives. It is great to live in a world with so much to offer, but we have to make sure we aren't just following the crowd, or doing the popular thing just because it's the popular thing.
