“It is not so much the major events as the small day-to-day decisions that map the course of our living. . . Our lives are, in reality, the sum total of our seemingly unimportant decisions and of our capacity to live by those decisions.”

“I want to live our own lives, make our own decision and not live in the shadow of a former life"...... We owe ourself that much.”

“How many small decisions accumulate to form a habit? What a multitude of decisions, made by others, in other times, must shape our lives now.”

“So many things shape our lives, our choices, our decisions, but in the end we make our own destiny. – Jack Maguire (hero)”

“... we hardly ever know the decisions we make that change our lives, mostly because they are the small ones”

“One writer said that the door of history turns on small hinges, and so do people’s lives. If we were to apply that maxim to our lives, we could say that we are the result of many small decisions. In effect, we are the product of our choices. We must develop the capacity to recall the past, to evaluate the present, and to look into the future in order to accomplish in our lives what the Lord would have us do.”
