Chances/Choices

We are all trekkers on the Tibetan path to enlightenment – or at least which supermarket to shop in. We carry our accumulated life choices in a heavy rucksack, hoping we don’t get stopped at customs. Some people point to accidents, coincidences, serendipity – others argue that there are only choices. Regardless of the individual decisions we make, we are much greater than the sum of our choices.

Life chances influence your life choices. Your ability to make choices relates directly to the freedoms that privilege or privation bestow upon you.

Both large and small choices can change our life. Why did you sit next to that girl on the bus, who is now your wife? Why were you in a bus and not a 1st class carriage?

Published by Roy Stannard

I'm someone who doesn't like parameters, barriers or fences. I'll try and climb over them, burrow under them or just pretend they don't exist - until they don't. Sometimes I'll write about the mind in a poetic way, or poetry with neural undertones, or I'll proselytise endlessly about my favourite new band - or one of the old ones. My Blog will give you the keys to the kingdom. A kingdom with no borders, no expectations and, therefore, no failure.. Because I am endlessly empathetic with people, their motivation, their behaviour,their problems and their quest for knowledge, I work with the pioneering Brighton-based homeless, vulnerable women and disempowered school students charity Off The Fence Trust that has tried to redress the equality deficit for over two decades. I produce, host and promote two radio shows a week: The Whole Nine Yards Sundays 3-5pm on Mid Sussex Radio 103.8FM (www.midsussexradio.co.uk/listen) - and Lost Immortals on Mid Sussex Radio 103.8FM on Sundays 5-7pm.
