We have been given amazing capabilities.

Of all the strengths that we have been blessed with, the most powerful is the power of choice.

It is only, “When a man cannot choose, he ceases to be a man.”
― Anthony Burgess, A Clockwork Orange

Through those choices we shape our present and mold our future.

Even when the body has been imprisoned and all other freedoms restricted, we  still have the power of choice.

The human spirit is an indomitable one.

Even when the body has been broken the spirit can soar. From ashes anyone can rise if he or she so choose.

When we remain broken, our state of existence is maintained by choice. The only one that can destroy the human spirit is that of the possessor, by turning  over one’s will to that of another.

We choose.

We choose how we live, and what state of mind or emotion we inhabit.

We choose who we are and what we will become.

Nothing is by accident or incidental.

We are where were are by choice. No one bears responsibility for the life you are living but you.

Everything manifested currently in our lives is because of choice.

“Man does not simply exist but always decides what his existence will be, what he will become the next moment. By the same token, every human being has the freedom to change at any instant.”
― Viktor E. Frankl, Man’s Search for Meaning

Our entire life balances on the choices that we make and thus, nothing is more important than making the right decisions.

Everything has a price, not everything has a price tag

You must pay for every choice you make in life. The payment is what is known as, consequence. Every choice has a consequence some intended some unintended.

“Choose well. Your choice is brief, and yet endless.”
― Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

While we drive our decisions we cannot choose the outcome of our decisions.

We must do our best to make right decisions, that we may influence rightful outcomes.

Once a choice is made results follow.

We don’t always feel or see the full  impact right away.

Once things are in motion there is no way to turn back the hands of time.  Payment will come due.

“Choices made, whether bad or good, follow you forever and affect everyone in their path one way or another.”
― J.E.B. Spredemann, An Unforgivable Secret

Even if you make bad choices learn from them. You will have to pay the bill but you are not shackled to the debt.

You are the author of your fate

No one has to be stuck in an intolerable or insufferable state. Make the choice to live your life as you desire. If you find yourself in a place of insufferable darkness or pain, realize that it is your choice whether or not to take up residence.

You must have the will to survive, and choose not to accept anything less than what you deserve.

When we fail to choose, life chooses for us. In failing to choose one essentially loses . It is then that we lose ourselves and control.

 Take your power of choice seriously.

Know that from dawn to dusk we shape our existence. There are no such things as small decisions, oversights, or  little white lies.

Every path we walk results from conscious decisions to take that path. To tell yourself otherwise is to live in the shadow of untruth.

As humans we do make mistakes, Mistakes result from lack of knowledge, or information. Meaning, one is caught unaware.

Walk in the understanding that, mistakes happen only once.

Make the right choices.

Choose to be accountable for the decisions you make.

“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.”
― Aristotle
