Choose well
What are you choosing right now? What will it add to or take away from your life?
The circumstances of your world do not just appear out of thin air. Many of them come from intentional or habitual choices, and a large portion of those choices are yours.
Some choices provide quick, trivial, pleasurable benefits at the expense of significant costs that come later. The problem with those choices is that later does eventually come.
Other choices impose burdens on you initially. Yet as you continue to willingly shoulder the burdens, those choices result in great, enduring value.
Any given moment offers countless options, with each one leading to even more options. Your ability to choose among those options provides immense opportunity.
Take that opportunity seriously, thoughtfully, and choose well. The quality of your life depends on your choices.
— Ralph Marston
