We all have the ability to choose, and sometimes we make good choices and other times our choices are not the best. Let the verses in this poem remind you that the choice you make today will affect your tomorrow.While you can let the wisdom of others influence your choices, don't be influenced by peer pressure or by following the crowd - you know in your heart what choices you should and should not make.

Poet: William Arthur Ward
The choices we make each day of the week,
The paths that we take, the goals that we seek,
The kind of persons one day we will be
Is daily determined by you and me.
Each thought that we think, each word that we say
Affect our tomorrows in some strange way.
Each task that we finish, if it's well done,
Prepares us to tackle a bigger one.
For each of us has a talent or two,
A chance to make good on the jobs we do;
A measure of time to squander or use
Is given to us - it's our job to choose.

"choices we make each day of the week"
William Arthur Ward
Do we realize how many choices we make in the run of a week? Each day we make thousands of choices, so of them are automatic, we do it without even thinking, others are more difficult. We should always be conscious of the choices we make and how it will affect our lives and the lives of the people around us. While some choices may seem automatic others will need some thought and consideration.
