“Choices may be unbelievably hard but they're never impossible. To say you have no choice is to release yourself from responsibility and that's not how a person with integrity acts.”

“To say you have no choice is to relieve yourself of responsibility.”

“In joy, our choices may appear to be few, but one's responses are anything but confined, they're inspired, expanded.”

“You think because you face situations not of your making that you exercise no choice? That you are helpless? To the contrary, child. Your whole life has been full of choices. Hiding from a hard truth is a choice. Surrender - even to the inevitable - is a choice. Even in death there is a choice. You may have no control over the time or manner of your death, but you can choose how you face it.”

“Sometimes you have to accept how things are. You can make it easy on yourself, or you can make it hard. The choice is yours.”

“Empowerment is being aware that there is no one to blame for my choices and actions; that I have a personal choice and responsibility for my life.”
