Life is about Choices

On a recent trip to visit my family in St. George, our little family was able to listen to Grandma and Grandpa Stapley talk in church. My dad spoke about the choices we make in our lives and he gave me some of the quotes that he used... My goal for this week is to print some of these quotes up and put them around the house and hopefully learn from them. They are quite good. Thanks Dad for sharing them with me.

In the movie Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Professor Dumbledore is talking with Harry just after he killed the giant snake, and the snakes master, and makes the following statement, "It is our choices, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities."

Renaissance Man- Danny Devito- “the choices we make, affect the life we live"

The choices we make are sometimes not what we think are the right one's. We will make mistakes. When those mistakes do occur, what happens next? Surround yourself with those who will help you and get you back on the path

Lehi also mentioned the result of our choices as he talked about the large and spacious building and those in it pointing fingers at those holding to the rod of iron. Some became ashamed and chose to let go of the rod and fell off the path and became lost.

There are 3 R's in choices. The Right to choose, the Responsibility to choose, and then to live the Results of the choice you make.

Trust in the Lord, with all thine heart, and lean not unto thine own understanding: in all thy ways acknowledge him, and hi shall direct thy paths. Proverbs 3: 5-6

If you don’t change your direction, You may end up where you are headed,

Watch what you choose to do “ Pres. Hinckley

Choose you this day, whom ye shall serve – Joshua 24:15

It’s choice, not chance that determines our destiny- Jean Nedetch

It is the little decisions that make the great differences in our lives – Pres. Hinckley

Great quote choices. Especially the one about the choices that you make and surrounding yourself with people who will be at your side no matter the choice you make in life.

"Stick to It!"
