choices

Intentional living is the art of making our own choices before others' choices make us.

Our deeds and actions can change the heart of men.

When everyone has a microphone, you can't hear anything. Choose one voice carefully and listen in.

Sometimes the reason God doesn't show up to win your battles is because he already put inside of you the power to end it.

When efforts that are wisely executed, the situation and condition don't affect the performance.

The elegance under pressure is the result of fearlessness.

There comes a time in your life when you have to choose to turn the page, write another book or simply close it.

What is a community? It is the sum total of our choices.

Do not use either harsh words or negative words. They only bring sadness and weaken the soul.

When love and duty are one then grace is within your soul.

Trading old broken mirrors that feed lies into our souls for new mirrors of freedom requires choices.

What I allow into my head finds its way to my heart, which is a porthole to my soul. Therefore, I might be wise to consider the state of my soul, and then walk this process backwards.

Some of us cover to protect our bodiessome of us cover to protect our soulsin both cases,respect their choices.

It's time to demand that the faithful keep their personal choices, preferences and beliefs in irrational and sometimes dangerous things strictly private. Everyone is absolutely free to believe what they want, provided they do not harass others (or force, or kill them) .. But nobody has the right to insist on privileges simply because they are supporters of one or other of the world's many religions."From: "Gesels van een imaginaire god"('Scourges of an imaginary god')

If my decisions constantly heed the voice of the world, I can be completely assured that I__ going to end up in a __orld of hurt._ If my decisions heed the word of God, I can be completely assured that this __orld of hurt_ won't be anywhere near my solar system.

God invites. We decline. And because of that single foolhardy decision we spend the rest of our lives __eclining_.

To the Buddhist or the eastern fatalist, existence is a science or a plan, which must end up in a certain way. But to a Christian, existence is a STORY, which may end up in any way. In a thrilling novel (that purely Christian product) the hero is not eaten by cannibals; but it is essential to the existence of the thrill that he MIGHT be eaten by cannibals. The hero must (so to speak) be an eatable hero. So Christian morals have always said to the man, not that he would lose his soul, but that he must take care that he didn't. In Christian morals, in short, it is wicked to call a man "damned": but it is strictly religious and philosophic to call him damnable.All Christianity concentrates on the man at the cross-roads. The vast and shallow philosophies, the huge syntheses of humbug, all talk about ages and evolution and ultimate developments. The true philosophy is concerned with the instant. Will a man take this road or that? - that is the only thing to think about, if you enjoy thinking.

My heart says, __his way._ The world says, __hat way._ God says, __ am the Way._ And if perchance I choose to listen to the first two, I__ going to find myself so far off the __ay_ that being lost becomes the __ay_.
