What’s growing around you is what you planted. Therefore, if you don’t like the plants, change the seeds.

The opinion that is void of fact is given birth at the hands of the person void of thought.

The time to act is not when everyone else does. The time to act is when everyone else has chosen not to.

Somehow I said “yes” to whatever put me here and “no” to whatever did not. And if I don’t like where I’m at, maybe I should start trading out one answer for the other.

Life is like a chess game; you have to think three moves ahead. Sadly, many people jump ahead and then wish that they could make six moves backwards.

We wonder why it has ‘come to this.’ And eventually it ‘came to us’ that our decisions could do nothing other than to ‘come to this,’ but the realization of that came a bit too late.

In the end, I walked myself here. And if ‘here’ is not the place that I wanted to be, blaming others for walking me here won’t do anything to walk me out of here.

Wherever I am is a result of me saying ‘yes’ to something when I should have said ‘no,’ or vice-versa. And me getting out of wherever I am is going to be based on saying the same things, but saying them in a different order than I did the first time.

We always ask, ‘How did it come to this?’ But maybe what we really need to ask is when in the world are we going to come to the point of not blaming others for the decisions that we came to so that we can finally understand how we came to them in the first place.
