From Vedic 5 - Freedom of Choice

A compilation of answers from survey on 'Freedom of Choice' - the amazing maturity of our youth always astounds!

In my life, I am in charge of - How to treat people; my reactions & emotional attitudes.

In my life I am not in charge of the Outcomes and consequences of my decisions; the lives of others; actions & reactions of people around me; my past; when I go to sleep; other people's decisions and their abilities to cooperate with other people.

I will probably feel more free when I get into a good college and get a job; or after I retire.

I can't make my decisions some times and I need help from my friends; I worry about the future constantly;
I can't hurt a friend knowingly or say no to people when they ask me for something.
I can't make many good decisions.

I won't put other people down or make fun of another
I won't deal with hypocrisy.

I can't avoid procrastination
I can't tell someone that I hate them to their face
I can't make a public speech
I can't live up to everyone's expectation

Times when I allowed others to make choices for me was when I was confused and stressed; or when others know more about the topic.

Times when I chose not to make a choice was when I was too hurt or frustrated to think; when I had to choose between 2 friends I valued equally; when I was angry and did not feel like considering my choices.
