A long time ago, about 20 years or so, I had a window size poster of Michael Ballack on one side and Andriy Shevchenko on the other, I often found myself feeling bad for always having Ballack on display. I would sometimes turn it over to give Shevchenko a few days, but that was it…just a few days. I hated that I had to choose between the two even when it was clear I obviously preferred one of them.
Often in life, we get stuck between two things or even more and can’t decide which one to pick. We live in a world of choices and we often feel like it has to be one thing for another. I hate having to choose. I could peruse a menu and end up frustrated from the pressure of having to make a choice.
I listened to a sermon some time ago where the preacher had said he found his son in his bathroom trying to use his hair products, and when he asked the boy what he had been doing in his bathroom, he said he was looking for his dad to tell him he loved him. The dad then asked, “Did you want to tell me you love me or you did you want to use my hair product?”… His son’s reply was; “why can’t it both?”
Yes, why can’t it be both?
Life is filled with so many choices. Some are hard and some easy. For the hard ones, I often find myself wishing it was as easy as my poster, that way I could try both sides and get to pick the better outcome.
