"If you don't choose, I will choose for you."
--Me
When it's time to get dressed, if my daughter does not choose what to wear (or takes too long deciding), I will make a selection.
It is the same way in life. If we don't make choices and take action to implement those choices, someone or something will choose for us. We will lose the chance to make the decision ourselves.
Alice: Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?
The Cheshire Cat: That depends a good deal on where you want to get to.
Alice: I don't much care where.
The Cheshire Cat: Then it doesn't much matter which way you go.
---Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland
If we are not proactively making our own decisions in life, we can wander aimlessly, and things will happen to us. We will be blown in whatever direction the winds of chance take us.
So just choose a shirt already.
