Best Quotes about Choice

Zadra, Dan

There is no shame in finding someone else to be attractive, or good company. Even if they don't like you, there is still no shame.

Joy in life comes from expressing ourselves, in taking risks and jumping in. Everyone is not going to like you. But you can like who you like.

The way to activate the seeds of your creation is by making choices about the results you want to create. When you make a choice, you activate vast human energies and resources, which otherwise go untapped.
