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.

How To Get To The Top On Your Own Terms

You can get to the top if you are willing to do the work. You must, according to Josh Altman, ‘constantly be creating your own opportunities.’

Whatever you are doing right now, do it well. Because it is the beginning of where you are going. Your future depends on what you are doing right now.

According to Lauren Maillian Bias, ‘It doesn’t matter why the door opens. If it opens, don’t hesitate to walk through it, but be prepared to work harder than expected. Expectations of you are always higher than they may outwardly seem.’

‘Learn to clearly communicate in a way that commands respect, but isn’t abrasive.’

‘Always be committed to the job at hand. Do it well and get noticed enough to move forward.’

‘Show that you can persevere with grace during difficult situations. Problems are a part of life, and we all encounter them, but how you handle them will be most memorable.’

‘When people show you their true colors, believe them. Don’t make excuses for other people’s negative behaviors.’

‘Treat everyone like a rock star.’

‘Know when to hold out for what’s most important to you.’

‘Always be the bigger person and rise above the nonsense. Remember: The actions of those who would tear you down are a reflection of them. Don’t let someone win by dragging you into his or her mud puddle.’

‘Own your voice, control your narrative, and be deliberate in your communication.’

‘You are your reputation, not your company or your title. It’s all about you– the impresssions you leave, the interests you pique, the conversations you start.’

‘Stay grounded and never lose sight of your moral compass.’

‘Seek to work with people with integrity. You can always find higher ground when you’re working with good people.’

‘Every time you’re faced with a major decision, ask yourself: ‘Is it worth it even if I fail?’ If the answer is ‘yes,’ go for it!’

‘Live life on your terms. Do what works best for your life as defined by you and no one else.’
