Choices

During each day, we make many choices regarding matters both large and small. One thing that most of us here have in common involves making choices regarding whether or not to play video games. Sometimes these choices are not easy but, of course, it is important for each of us to always try to make the right choices for ourselves. I hope that you find the following quotes interesting and possibly even a bit helpful for you whenever you are facing any difficult choices to make.

While we are free to choose our actions, we are not free to choose the consequences of our actions.
- Stephen R. Covey

A man is happy so long as he chooses to be happy and nothing can stop him.

I think there is a lot of wisdom in the words above about choices... This is one I have needed to "hear" in the past... I have talked myself out of or rationalized not doing things that in hindsight I wish I had had the courage to try. [/size]

Re: Choices

Harold, I agree that there is a lot of wisdom in those quotes about choices. Here are some additional quotes about choices that I trust have some additional wisdom in them. Your life changes the moment you make a new, congruent, and committed decision.
- Anthony Robbins When making your choice in life, do not neglect to live.
- Dr. Samuel Johnson Be miserable. Or motivate yourself. Whatever has to be done, it's always your choice.
- Dr. Wayne Dyer You are everything that is, your thoughts, your life, your dreams come true. You are everything you choose to be. You are as unlimited as the endless universe.
- Shad Helmstetter Tomorrow is the most important thing in life. Comes into us at midnight very clean. It's perfect when it arrives and puts itself in our hands. It hopes we've learned something from yesterday.
- John Wayne There is no more miserable human being than one in whom nothing is habitual but indecision.
- William James How you choose to respond each moment to the movie of life determines how you see the next frame, and the next, and eventually how you feel when the movie ends.
- Doc Childre Live your beliefs and you can turn the world around.
- Henry David Thoreau Once you make a decision, the universe conspires to make it happen.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson Live your dream by making deliberate choices, not just responding to whatever life throws your way.
- Marcia Wieder Your life is the sum result of all the choices you make, both consciously and unconsciously. If you can control the process of choosing, you can take control of all aspects of your life. You can find the freedom that comes from being in charge of yourself.
- Robert F. Bennett ...the H.A.L.T. method. Never make a decision when you are Hungry, Angry, Lonely, or Tired.
- David DeNotaris Avoiding the phrase "I don't have time...", will soon help you to realize that you do have the time needed for just about anything you choose to accomplish in life.
- Bo Bennett There are two primary choices in life; to accept conditions as they exist, or accept the responsibility for changing them.
- Denis Waitley All my life, whenever it comes time to make a decision, I make it and forget about it.
- Harry S. Truman My mother's menu consisted of two choices: Take it or leave it.
- Buddy Hackett

- John O.

Re: Choices

Even if you choose not to make a choice, you are making a choice not to make a choice!

"There is little difference in people, but that little difference makes a big difference. The little difference is attitude. The big difference is whether it is positive or negative." --W. Clement Stone
