DOES THE CHOICE FEEL LIKE 'YOU'?

They say our lives are the sum total of the choices we make. And in today’s world, where so much of our life is visible, every decision can feel amplified under the gaze of others.

It’s natural, then, to lean towards choices that are “sensible” — the ones that can be explained, defended, justified. Choices that appease others and make logical sense.

But here’s the thing: if we don’t recognise ourselves in those choices, they start to feel hollow. Each sensible-but-inauthentic choice adds up. And one day, we may find ourselves in a life that looks fine on paper, but doesn’t feel like ours.

Living sensibly is important. But so is living authentically. It isn’t an ‘or’. It’s an ‘and’.

The choices that bring joy and fulfillment are often the ones that feel both whole (logic + intuition) and true (authentic, even when not fully explainable).
