I think that the decisions, belong to our free will. The choices belong to our ..Destiny. We muat be able to read the 'signs' and be ready to make the right choice.
I read once the book by Richard Bach, 'One' and I liked the possibility of being able to …live all…possibilities in some other dimension..Imagine, if it was possible…

and women should agree with men’s choise?
I donot believe in destiny from the beginning of time man has the power to choose and given the free will to lead his life but HE tend to forget that His Creator’s will shall be done.
I believe that in every given moment we must take a decision, although it is not our choice, but we are forced by circumstances to act, the most sensible thing to do is put down the advantages and disadvantages and …sleep! In the morning our decision will given to us by our inner-self. The outcome, will be our..destiny.

for me destiny and free choice are both gifts , i have the choice of putting them my closet and look at it (and say ooo nice or ooooo ugly or just nothing) or unpack and make the most difficult choice : fully accept it…. or put it back again …..and find courage
Decide = to think carefully about the different possibilities that are available and choose one of them.
Choose = to decide which thing or person you want out of the ones that are available.
This is the explanation of the Oxford Dictionary.
In Greek, which is my language, the different meaning is quite clear.

How would you describe the differens?
Dear Natasja,
If only we knew what choice we were making and in which reality…., I think we would not move to make …any choice!!! {Just a joke]. But imagine if we were all Light, never ending..

Yess !!! I agree…I discovered this reality recently actually… before I thought that God presented our destiny to us and we didn’t have to do anything with this, just accept or not accept….but it doesn’t work exactely like this…and I suffered a lot for not having chosen regarding a specific situation in my life.
WE ALWAYS HAVE THE CHOICE ON WHAT TO DO !
God bless you all !
