The choice is yours

"If a man wants to read good books, he must make a point of avoiding bad ones; for life is short, and time and energy limited."
 Schopenhauer

Life is about options. This or that.  Here or there. We always have a choice.  And often, we have far too many choices at our disposal.    
I think it's important to try to force yourself to be patient, especially when it comes to making decisions.  I often want to rush into making a choice so that I can hurry to move on to the next thing.  But impulsiveness leads to disaster, I have learned.  
So, even though life is short, I try to savor each moment, each second for what it is worth.
