Whenever we live as normal human beings, we tend to set goals and accomplishments that we want to accomplish one day. We plan out a perfect and hardship free journey to get us right in front of our goal or accomplishment. Unfortunately, we do not live in a perfect world.

Moreover, everyday people have a choice in what they will say or do, thus people can make good things happen instead of bad simply by making better choices. To put it differently, when making a decision, it is important to determine the facts and identify the options.
