It is difficult for some people to accept that love is a choice. This seems to run counter to the generally accepted theory of romantic love which expounds that love is inborn and as such requires no more than to accept it.

You have the choice. You can choose joy over despair, happiness over tears, action over apathy, growth over stagnation.

If we wish to free ourselves from enslavement, we must choose freedom and the responsibility this entails.

Happiness comes only when we push our brains and hearts to the farthest reaches of which we are capable. The purpose of life is to matter-to count, to stand for something, to have it make so difference that we lived at all.

When we give ourselves in love we become our most vulnerable. We are never safe. We become open to disappointment and hurt.

Our talents are the gift that God gives to us... What we make of our talents is our gift back to God

To place your ideas and your dreams before the crowd is to risk being called naive.
