EXCERPT
A Matter Of Choice
We are the choices we make. Each and every second of the day we are making decisions. Some of them are major...
should we get married, raise a family, move to a new city? Others are more mundane...which video to view, restaurant to patronize, emails to answer?
Even a stop at a Starbucks for a simple cup of coffee is not so simple. Do you want regular or decaf, black, regular milk, soy milk or almond milk, expresso Americano or expresso latte, or something special like a Salted Caramel Mocha Frappuccino®? On the other hand, maybe you should just chuck the whole coffee experience and order a steamed apple juice or hot chocolate instead?
The point is that one cup of coffee might not make much difference in your life. But so many other decisions do. We therefore need to choose wisely. Hopefully the thoughts in this section will help you do just that.
When it rains it pours. Maybe the art of life is to convert
tough times to great experiences: we can choose to hate the rain or dance in it.
- JOAN MARQUES
Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms - to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's own way.
- VICTOR FRANKL
The meaning of things lies not in the things themselves but in our attitude towards them.
- ANTOINE DE SAINT-EXUPÉRY
You always have two choices with your life and experience: you can either learn from it or you can place blame. The choice is always yours.
- KEVIN HORSLEY
No one forces a person to be negative, and no one forces anyone to be positive. The choice is up to an individual and that person alone.
- BYRON PULSIFER
That's the nice thing about being human. We only have one life, but we can choose what kind of story it's going to be.
- RICK RIORDAN
We are the choices we make.
- MERYL STREEP
You have a choice, you either give it your best, or alternatively you give up. Don't look back upon your life with regret, make the changes you want and make them now!
- DARREN HOUSLEY
Every day, you make choices about what you will dedicate your time to, how you will spend your money, and who you will rely on. In every aspect of your life, you have the ability to choose either simplicity or complexity; finances, work, chores, shopping, entertainment, and relationships may all be sources of stress and chaos, or they may become wellsprings of peace and contentment.
- CHELSEA WALTERS
The choice we make will determine whether we reinforce a world where conflicts escalate out of control, or create a new world where conflicts are transformed into opportunity.
- MARK GERZON
I keep the telephone of my mind open to peace, harmony, health, love and abundance. Then, whenever doubts, anxiety, or fear try to call me, they keep getting a busy signal — and soon they'll forget my number.
- EDITH ARMSTRONG
There is always plenty to be worried and sad about, but there is equally plenty to be happy and at peace with.
The choice is yours.
- STEVE MARABOLI
