It’s remarkable to me to consider how many good things – really good things – in life are up to us.

  • Everyone likes free money but not everyone will bend over to pick up a dime.
  • Most would argue that humility is a virtue but not everyone will embrace it.
  • Few people would argue for the fulfillment of a faithless life but many continue in one because they don’t make the simple choice to foster what little faith they might have within them.

Not everything that happens to you is a matter of choice, but as far as those things that are, choose well.   The weak power of your small choices can accumulate to change reality.
