More From Joan Lunden

All men and women are born, live, suffer and die; what distinguishes us one from another is our dreams, whether they be dreams about worldly or unworldly things, and what we do to make them come about... we do not choose to be born. we do not choose our parents. we do not choose our historical epoch, the country of our birth, or the immediate circumstances of our upbringing. we do not, most of us, choose to die; nor do we choose the time and conditions of our death. but within this realm of choicelessness, we do choose how we live.

This i choose to do. if there is a price, this i choose to pay. if it is my death, then i choose to die. where this takes me, there i choose to go. i choose. this i choose to do.

They'd had fun, for sure. they laughed and enjoyed being together. but if she was painfully honest with herself, something was missing. something in the way tim looked at her. she remembered her mom's word. "i saw the way he looked at you...he adores you." maybe that was it. tim looked at her on a surface level. he smiled and seemed happy to see her. but when cody looked at her, there were no layers left, nothing her didn't reveal, nothing he couldn't see. he didn't really look at her so much as he looked into her. to the deepest, most real places in her heart and soul.

We do not choose to be born. we do not choose our parents, or the country of our birth. we do not, most of us, choose to die; nor do we choose the time and conditions of our death. but within this realm of choicelessnness, we do choose how we live.

Everyone has problems. it's how you choose to deal with them. some people choose to be whiners some choose to be winners. some choose to be victims some choose to be victors.

We cannot choose how many years we will live, but we can choose how much life those years will have. we cannot control the beauty of our face, but we can control the expression on it. we cannot control life's difficult moments but we can choose to make life less difficult. we cannot control the negative atmosphere of the world, but we can control the atmosphere of our minds. too often we try to choose and control things we cannot. too seldom we choose to control what we can ... our attitude.

Similar Quotes

If the masses started to accept ufos, it would profoundly affect their attitude towards life, politics, everything. it would threaten the status quo. whenever people come to realize that there are larger considerations than their own petty lives, they are ripe to make radical changes on a personal level, which would eventually lead to a political revolution in society as a whole

Capitalism is like this fractal thing where anything that contains an element of capitalism anywhere inside it is just something that turns into capitalism. it is an incredibly defeatist attitude. if you choose to look at reality that way, i suppose you can, but you have to do enormous violence to reality to do so consistently.

We should ever conduct ourselves towards our enemy as if he were one day to be our friend.

I'm deeply grateful to live and work in this country and to the united states for opening its arms to me the way it has. i mean i think my attitude as an aussie coming here - i've been coming here for a while now, i've been coming here for about 12 or 13 years - is that this country has afforded me and my family work and security. for that, i'm forever grateful.
