For all us who have or have not been afflicted with some ill fortune or disease, or accident our choice usually determines our successes in life. Each new day presents added challenges, opportunities, and possibilities. It is up to us what selections we choose. It is up to us how intelligently we make our choices. I might also add, a decision not to act is as much of a choice as a deliberate decision to act.
We make choices constantly. They are our choices and we must own them. We choose our actions or our inactions, our beliefs and our non-beliefs. Just as we choose the clothes we wear and the books we read. There is an abundance of experience to draw from. Through time, our actions and beliefs move us in the direction we choose to go. Hopefully, growth occurs from consistently making the right choices and learning form the wrong choices.
The process of learning to make good decisions is the heart of growth. As we grow, life gives us new and exciting challenges to choose. If we fail, life will continue to give us more opportunities to achieve or fail. So ask yourself the right questions as you ponder your choices and you will choose the correct answers. As you go through life you will find that your choices have a definitive impact upon you, so you will need to make them carefully.
Your very being is determined by your choices.
