What is the right choice in life?

Life, it is said provides continuous opportunities, options, choices for us. How to choose the right option, or how to know the opportunity is right for us, whether we are making a right choice? It becomes easy to choose if there are two options and one is bad and the other is good. But if both the options are good, which is the right choice? And if the good options are in multiplicity to choose from, which one to go for? In short what is right choice for me? There is a possibility of confusion or you gamble and see for yourself how it works. But you may do it at the expense of so many things. Then what is the solution? The amount of confusion is directly proportional to the number of choices. Too many choices can generally lead to making a wrong choice. As human being gravitates to the wrong so easily. Some options if adopted work immediately for the good of us and some may have long term benefit. Some may be for our ultimate good. So it becomes a very complex process of arriving at selecting a right option using our own resources. And life is a series of moments and each moment is an option and we have to go for a right option. It amounts to the way we lead our life and what we expect out of our life, if at all. So again, what is the solution?

The possible solutions

When one is confronted with too many options in life, the situation demands NOT the intellect but wisdom to discriminate sharply. Sharper discrimination leads to choosing a clear option. There can be two possible solutions –
1) Taking life as it comes without thinking too much of what is good for us or what is not.
2) Accessing your deep VoIS and going by what it suggests for you.
3) Praying to be always in a "choiceless-situation" so that we never make a mistake of making a wrong choice.

In short, as said earlier, as life is a series of moments, our way of life is to be molded in such a way that our life is constantly guided by this VoIS  and NOT by our other resources such as intellect, knowledge, experience that are so limited in our sense. When listening to the VoIS becomes way of life, whatever choice we make becomes the right choice, though apparently it may look otherwise.
