10 Powerful Quotes To Manage Your Choices

by Bright Osadiaye, posted in Personal Development

To manage your life, you must first manage your choices.

To get started, read and digest the following quotes.

According to Shad Helmstetter, ‘No one else can ever make your choices for you. Your choices are yours alone. They are as much a part of you as every breath you will take, every moment of your life.’ Make your choice. Because you are responsible for your life. You are also responsible for your choices. If they are right, enjoy them. If they are wrong, endure them. Learn from them. And move on.

‘Choosing to live your life by your own choice is the greatest freedom you will ever have.’ No matter what is going on in your life, ‘live your life by your own choice’. Where you are at in your life, it is not about you. It is about your choices. If you want to change where you are going, you must take care of your choices.

‘It is only when you exercise your right to choose that you can also exercise your right to change.’ Yes, that is right. Because your choices drive your results. Your choices are in charge of your results. If you want better results, then make better choices.

‘If you were given only one choice: to choose or not to choose, which would you choose?’ I will choose the choice to choose my life. If I do not have the right to choose, then I do not have the right to live. Because one is not living when one cannot choose. To live is to be able to choose yourself, to be able to choose your life.

‘Another person’s choice is nothing more than another alternative for you to consider.‘ Who knows everything? No one knows enough to know everything. If you want to get better, to know more, you have got to get out of your comfort zone.

‘There is no life as complete as the life that is lived by choice.’ Choice is life. You are living your best life when you have the right to choose you, to choose your career, to choose your friends. If you are not the person in charge of your choices, then you are not living your best life.

‘There may be a thousand little choices in a day. All of them count.’ Take care of your choices, even the little ones.

‘Whatever you choose, you might as well enjoy it. It is your choice.’ When you make your choices, your choices will make you.

When you have a problem, make a choice… you’ll feel better.’ Action is better than inaction. Because a problem not solved, it will always come back. If you do not want it to come back, you have got to face it today, not tomorrow.

‘Some people choose to live by complaining. Other people choose to live.‘ Life is too short to waste. If you are not living your life, then what are you doing? You are not going to be here forever. Your time is limited. Instead of complaining, choose to live your life.

Will you?

Is It Really Hard To Step Away From Work You Care About?

‘It’s hard to step away from work

you care about and identify with,

but rest and renewal are crucial to progress.’- Brad Stulberg

Work is life. Work is not just about earning a living. It is more than that. Work is sacred. It is spiritual.

If you love your work, you feel like yourself. You feel good about your life. You want to do more. But doing more work comes with a cost.

Loving what you are doing is one thing. Allowing what you are doing to take charge of your life is another thing.

Work is life. But do not over do it. If you are tired, take a short break. If you are feeling exhausted, take a break. When you come back, then find a better way to do it.

Do not allow yourself to be controlled by your work. If you find it hard to do something else, if you do not have time for your loved ones, if you can’t have a cup of coffee with your partner, with your friends, if you can’t have quality time with yourself, if you don’t have time for God, then your work is in charge of your life.

If that is you, you can change it. You can reposition your life for greatness. Because greatness comes from living your life, from loving yourself more than your work, from spending quality time with yourself, from actually doing what matters.

Greatness comes from knowing when to say, ‘enough is enough’. If you don’t know when to say enough is enough, then you are under the control of your work. You are not working to live a better life. You are living to work. Do not do that to yourself. Because your life is more than your work.

So if you are tired, if you find yourself not enjoying what you are doing, then take a break. If you don’t, then life will do it for you.
