So if you make a choice, does it define you? Are you implicitly rejecting the other choice? Can you sit on the fence and keep everyone happy or pick no sides and be on no ones side?
If you change your mind and take the other path... does that choice alone then define you? Does the time spent exploring the other choice count? Does the time spent on the fence matter?
If you keep your feet on both forks of the path... are you just indecisive or making no progress?
On the other hand, there is the case of making a decision and going for it.... with the risk that it may turn out in an unexpected way. Every choice has risk, there is no way to eliminate it completely.
So is choice just about risk? Trying to pick the least risky choice? What are the other factors? Outcomes? Time investment? Resources? Ability to execute? Side effects? Intangibles?
Do you pick the choice that will make you who you desire to be? Will you still desire it when you get there or will the journey reform your desire along the way?
