These choices quotes remind us that we all make choices, right ones, and wrong ones. A good choice often reflects what we have been taught from influential people in our lives,
what we have learned from failures so that certain mistakes are not repeated, or from changing our attitude from one of self-pity to one of accepting that we can change
from only seeing a hurdle to seeing a solution.
The most important element in choice is that you are in control of what you choose to do, to say or to act.
No one should be allowed or given tacit permission to choose your life for you; that is up to you to determine. Please read the following quotes on other's thoughts on making the right choices.
