Every time you decide to do one thing, you decide not to do another. Keep this in mind when deciding what to do next. What is the consequence of what you are about to do? Will this action, or inaction help or harm you? Stay mindfully present! Empower yourself in the now.

I often ask myself: "Is this helping or harming me?" when looking at what I am doing, or about to do. It really helps to guide me towards a better path through life.

We have a choice as to what we emotionally attach ourselves to. We can hear someone’s opinion objectively.

Question everything. Find your own answers. Reach your own conclusions. Make up your own mind. Believe things because you believe them and not just because someone told you to. Live a life that makes sense to you. Live a life you believe in.

Mindfulness introduces us to choices we may not have even noticed otherwise. Those choices can have a tremendous impact on our experience of life.

This can be the best time of your life or the worst time of your life. The choice is yours.

Don't worry about what they're doing, focus on what you're doing instead.

When we accept things it does not necessarily mean we condone them. Acceptance provides us with a choice of what we want to emotionally attach to, what we are prepared to be involved with and do something about.

Sometimes, you will act because you realize you must. Other times, you will face a choice. The choice is always the same: Attempt to stay where you are or move forward. But, the choice ‘to stay where you are’ never truly exists. Everything changes. Change is inevitable. The only difference is whether you make the decision of what you will do next, or whether life or circumstances will make that decision for you. Either way, the decision will always be made.
