Have you heard of Dr. Shad Helmstetter’s book entitled “Choices: Discover Your 100 Most Important Life Choices”? Surprisingly this simple book about making choices is indeed profound and inspiring.
After all life is about making choices and decisions. We make them every day. The choices we make determine the direction of our life. But the question is do you make your choices consciously or is it decided by your sub-conscious?
Ponder over this and for now let’s go through Dr Shad Helmstetter’s 26 quotes about making choices:
“There is no life as complete as the life that is lived by choice.”
“When you have a problem, make a choice…you’ll feel better.”
“Choosing to live your life by your own choice is the greatest freedom you will ever have.”
“The end result of your life here on earth will always be the sum total of the choices you made while you were here.”
“Listen to the quietest whispers of your mind. They are telling you the choices that will help you the most.”
“Those who choose to succeed always do better than those who never choose at all.”
“No one else can ever make your choices for you. Your choices are yours alone. They are as much a part of you as every breath you will take, every moment of your life.”
“If you were given only one choice: To choose or not to choose, which would you choose?”
“There may be a thousand little choices in a day. All of them count.”
“You cannot manage your life if you do not manage your self. You cannot manage your self if you do not manage your choices. Manage your choices, and you will manage your life.”
“Each day that passes, your choices will come and go. They are like diamonds in a chest of jewels, each waiting to be discovered.”
“The highest levels are most certainly filled with those who chose to be there.”
“Even the best of choices is only as strong as the choices that stand by its side.”
“You may think that in life, a lot of things happen to you along the way. The truth is, in life, you happen to a lot of things along the way.”
“The choices we make by accident are just as important as the choices we make by design.”
“Who knows what you could accomplish in life if you made more of the right choices along the way?”
“The choices we make in the heat of emotion would be better if left for some other day.”
“It is only when you exercise your right to choose that you can also exercise your right to change.”
“Another person’s choice is nothing more than another alternative for you to consider.”
“Some people choose to live by complaining. Other people choose to live.”
“It is the big choices we make that set our direction. It is the smallest choices we make that get us to the destination.”
“Whatever you choose, you might as well enjoy it. It is your choice.”
“Learning what to choose, and how to choose, may be the most important education you will ever receive.”
“If you have to take time to make a choice, take time. Then make the choice.”
“If you’d like to know what your choices have been, look at yourself and the life you have lived. What you see is the choices you’ve made.”
“It is your programming that has created your choices in the past. It is the choices you make today that are creating the programs of your future.”
Another interesting book by Shad Helmstetter is “What to Say When you Talk To Yourself“. It’s about our inner voice and how to manage one’s “self”. In other words, we become the living result of our own thoughts. All those words and beliefs stored in our sub-conscious mind.
