...in the shaping of a life, chance and the ability to respond to chance are everything.

Life is not happening to you. It’s happening for you in response to what you’re saying and feeling.

Our life is result of our choices.

Life is ten percent what happens to you and ninety percent how you respond to it

It is not what happens to you in life that makes the difference. It is how you react to each circumstance you encounter that determines the result. Every human being in the same situation has the possibilities of choosing how he will react - either positively or negatively.

Life is choice. All day, everyday. Who we talk to, where we sit, what we say, how we say it. And our lives become defined by our choices. It’s as simple and as complex as that. And as powerful. So when I’m observing, that’s what I’m watching for. The choices people make.

it’s not conditions but decisions that determine our lives.

Life is a series of choices and all we can do is make them.

We can’t always choose our circumstances but we can choose how we respond to what life throws at us, and there is power when we realize our ability to alter our destiny.

Your life right now — everything from your work and your health to your relationships and your finances — is the result of choices you’ve made in the past. The job you have right now is a choice that you made at some point. And, whether you realize it or not, a choice you’ve made every day since. You can tell yourself that you have to do the work you do, but the truth is, you don’t. It’s a choice. Are you carrying around ten or twenty pounds of lifestyle-related fat? That’s the result of thousands of choices that you made over recent days, weeks, months and years. How about your significant other, or your close friendships? They’re all choices. Your furniture, the food in your fridge, the car you drive. They’re all choices. They are all, without exception, the results of your past behavior. The same thing applies to wealth.

So much of what happens by chance forms what becomes your life.
