Observations In Life

People are always concerned about making the right decisions in life? We doubt ourselves and when making a decision we want to be sure it’s the right one.

I just came across this clip of a younger and less famous Morgan Freeman on a cool game site performing as Easy Reader on the tv show The Electric Company. I agree with the game site’s author, I never pictured Morgan Freeman in this way. He’s always the quiet serious type. Does anyone even remember his lesser known acting credits?

I’m not making fun of Morgan Freeman, although this clip is comical. This clip simply shows that the path we start on isn’t any assurance of where we’re going and where we’ll end up. Life is what you make of it and as long as you take advantage of the opportunities available to you, you will probably live a happy life. Usually just making a decision is the right decision. If it happens to be the wrong one, you can change your mind and take a different course of action. I’ve been fortunate with where I’ve ended up so far. I hope my “luck” continues.

I’m sure a young Morgan Freeman took the opportunities made available to him, made some great connections, proved his talent and the rest is history. He’s gone on to win awards, great notoriety and respect in the industry and admiration from countless fans.

So why is making a decision so hard? Why do we feel that we have to be right all the time? What are we really afraid of? If Easy Reader can go on to winning an Academy Award what isn’t possible?
