Your life is yours to live, no matter how you choose to live it. When you do not think about how you intend to live it, it lives you. When you occupy it, step into it consciously, you live it.

As your temptations become greater, so does your ability to make responsible choices.

A responsible choice is a choice that creates consequences that you are willing to assume responsibility for.

Reality is what we take to be true. What we take to be true is what we believe. What we believe is based upon our perceptions. What we perceive depends upon what we look for. What we look for depends upon what we think. What we think depends upon what we perceive. What we perceive determines what we believe. What we believe determines what we take to be true. What we take to be true is our reality.

Do not lose power over the what-ifs of your life. These are unlimited and endless. Keep your power in the now, in present time.

When our actions create discord in another person, we, ourselves, in this lifetime or another, will feel that discord. Likewise, if our actions create harmony and empowerment in another, we also come to feel that harmony and empowerment.

We cannot control what emotions or circumstances we will experience next, but we can choose how we will respond to them.
