Choice

I have made the choices that work best for me. I know I cannot please everyone, and that's fine.

All that you are is because of your choices.

- Debasish Mridha

Experience is a supreme teacher, but experience is not something that can be taught. It has to be learned through choice and consequence.

- Toni Sorenson, Aligned By Christ

...most of what bein human's about is making choices and payin the bills when they come due. Some of the choices are pretty goddam nasty, but that don't give a person leave to just walk away from em... In a case like that, you just have to make the best choice you can n then pay the price.

- Stephen King, Dolores Claiborne

Colour outside the lines, live outside the box. Don’t let anyone tell you what to do, or not. Don’t be afraid, listen to your heart. Heaven is a state of being – of one-ness, and Hell is a state of being – lost. We simply need to live as we best define ourselves, find our own ways of being who we are in our world. There is no requirement - only freedom of choice. We should not be judged if we are doing what we think best according to our perceptions at any given time. Guilt should be discarded, moved beyond - what matters is who we choose to be in the next moment, given what we might have learned. We continually create ourselves anew. Forgiving someone is a great way to show love, and forgive yourself too for the hurt you held onto far too long. Take back the energy you have wasted on these things and reclaim your power to be your next best self. Honour the past but refresh, expand, renew, fulfill. Heaven is within us, always reachable.

- Jay Woodman

Deep down we all know that freedom is a choice, yet so many of us don’t feel that truth.

Freedom would be not to choose between black and white but to abjure such prescribed choices.

- Theodor Adorno

By unnerving definition, anything that the heart has chosen for its own mysterious reasons it can always unchoose later—again, for its own mysterious reasons.

- Elizabeth Gilbert, Committed: A Skeptic Makes Peace with Marriage

Even the juncture in history and the zeitgeist we live in is something we choose, setting the scene for the spiritual fodder we need to grow and achieve deeper elevation of our souls.
