Quote

Today I choose life. Every morning when I wake up I can choose joy, happiness, negativity, pain... To feel the freedom that comes from being able to continue to make mistakes and choices - today I choose to feel life, not to deny my humanity but embrace it.

You don't get to choose how you're going to die, or when. You can only decide how you're going to live. Now.

Choosing is a creative process, one through which we construct our environment, our lives, ourselves.

Each day brings opportunity for decisions for eternity.

I am not the born; how can there be either birth or death for me?

Just as I shall select my ship when I am about to go on a voyage, or my house when I propose to take a residence, so I shall choose my death when I am about to depart from life.

We have the opportunity not just to choose our job or profession, but also to choose the sort of life we want to live and the imprint we will leave on others.

Everything born has to die, in order to make room for the future.

Why are we born? We're born eventually to die, of course. But what happens between the time we're born and we die? We're born to live. One is a realist if one hopes.
