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.

‘… if you’re uncomfortable with something, it’s because it isn’t right. Discomfort is the human response to a questionable or bad situation, whether that’s working long hours with no end in sight, exaggerating your business numbers to impress investors, or selling intimate user data to advertisers. If you get into the habit of suppessing all discomfort, you’re going to lose yourself, your manners, and your morals.’– jason Fried & David Heinemeier Hansson

Discomfort is a message. If you want to know what is going on in your life, you must pay attention to what you are feeling. Do not ignore your feelings.

Do not pretend that things are alright. Because things don’t get better by themselves. If you want things to change, you must, according to Ray Dalio, know ‘how reality works.’ Know what you want. Know what you do not want. Know what you can do. And know what you cannot do.

Do not say no to everything. And do not say yes to everything. Just focus on what makes sense to you. If something is good, do more of it. If you do not feel good about something, don’t do it.

Say ‘no’ to what is not relevant to you. Because, according to Jason and David, ‘When you say no to one thing, it’s a choice that breeds choices. When you say yes to one thing, you’ve spent that choice.’

The question is, ‘What are you saying no to?’ And what are you saying yes to?
