In life, you have the power to make one’s own choices or decisions. Find something or someone to inspire you and remind you that your choices determine your life – whether to be happy or sad, whether to look forward or back, whether you go one better, or lose, whether you succeed or not.

Remember, the choices you make impact your life and the lives of those people around you. Look for poems, quotes, or motivational talk from someone you admire to make the right choices; later in life, you will look back and be thankful that you made the decision you did!

Life volitions are tough to make at some point and time, and it can be challenging to find which option is best. In that case, look to a mentor or someone you look up to for assistance. 

Frankly, just talking about it makes a tremendous difference in the decision-making process.

In the end, if you made a wrong choice, don’t beat yourself up about it. Some of the best lessons are our failures in life; that is how we learn. Pick up the pieces, fix what you can, and move on! 

In the words of….The Road Not Taken

By Robert Frost

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, 

And sorry I could not travel both 

And be one traveler, long I stood 

And looked down one as far as I could 

To where it bent in the undergrowth; 

Then took the other, as just as fair, 

And having perhaps the better claim, 

Because it was grassy and wanted wear; 

Though as for that the passing there 

Had worn them really about the same, 

And both that morning equally lay 

In leaves no step had trodden black. 

Oh, I kept the first for another day! 

Yet knowing how way leads on to way, 

I doubted if I should ever come back. 

I shall be telling this with a sigh 

Somewhere ages and ages hence: 

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I— 

took the one less traveled by, 

And that has made all the difference.
