We are not animals. We are not a product of what has happened to us in our past. We have the power of choice.
Excellence is never an accident. It is always the result of high intention, sincere effort, and intelligent execution; it represents the wise choice of many alternatives - choice, not chance, determines your destiny.
Big things are built one brick at a time. Victories are achieved one choice at a time. A life well lived is chosen one day at a time.
Therefore, be honest with yourself as to why you are choosing to do a particular thing. Then, do it gladly, knowing that you are always getting to do what you want. The statement "I have no choice" is a lie. You can choose. You simply do not prefer the alternatives available to you, for whatever reason. So you select the outcome that you most prefer.
Your choices decide your fate. Take the time to make the right ones. If you make a mistake, that's fine; learn from it & don't make it again.
No matter what, we always have the power to choose hope over despair, engagement over apathy, kindness over indifference, love over hate.
We can complain because rose bushes have thorns, or rejoice because thorn bushes have roses.
We have no choice, we must all die. How we live, however, is entirely of our choosing.
The capacity to learn is a gift; The ability to learn is a skill; The willingness to learn is a choice.
Because with every action, comment, conversation, we have the choice to invite Heaven or Hell to Earth.
Understand that the right to choose your own path is a sacred privilege. Use it. Dwell in possibility.
Use wisely your power of choice.
Live today. Let go of your attachment to your past as an excuse for your life conditions today. You are the product of the choices you are making right now.
The world is in the condition it is in because of you, and the choices you have made - or failed to make. (Not to decide is to decide.) The Earth is in the shape it's in because of you, and the choices you have made - or failed to make. Your own life is the way it is because of you, and the choices you have made - or failed to make.
Most of our decisions are driven by either love or fear. Figure out who's doing the talking, then decide what you'll do.
A real decision is measured by the fact that you've taken a new action. If there's no action, you haven't truly decided.
How do you want to live your life? How do you want to play the game? Do you want to play in the big leagues or in the little leagues, in the majors or the minors? Are you going to play big or play small? It's your choice.
Mindfulness gives you time. Time gives you choices. Choices, skillfully made, lead to freedom. You don't have to be swept away by your feeling. You can respond with wisdom and kindness rather than habit and reactivity.
Satan has no power over us except what we allow. Moment by moment, decision by decision, step by step - will we operate in God's all powerful Truth or allow Satan to entangle us in his lies?
Bad things do happen; how I respond to them defines my character and the quality of my life. I can choose to sit in perpetual sadness, immobilized by the gravity of my loss, or I can choose to rise from the pain and treasure the most precious gift I have - life itself.
The power of choice. You have it. But you forfeit it when you imagine that you can choose for others. You can't. But you can choose for yourself.
With everything that has happened to you, you can either feel sorry for yourself or treat what has happened as a gift. Everything is either an opportunity to grow or an obstacle to keep you from growing. You get to choose.
Happiness is a choice, not a result. Nothing will make you happy until you choose to be happy.
Nobody's going to do your life for you. You have to do it yourself, whether you're rich or poor, out of money or raking it in, the beneficiary of ridiculous fortune or terrible injustice. And you have to do it no matter what is true. No matter what is hard. No matter what unjust, sad, sucky things befall you. Self-pity is a dead-end road. You make the choice to drive down it. It's up to you to decide to stay parked there or to turn around and drive out.
Each day you're presented with a choice. You can either keep your greatness hidden under a pile of fears, regrets, and excuses, or you can let it out. So the best way to begin unlocking inner greatness is to make a conscious choice to live out the rest of today, with the best you.
