I don't post these things very often. I see a lot of them but can only relate to a relative few. Like this one.

TODAY
I choose to live by choice,
not by chance; To make
changes, not excuses. To be
motivated, not manipulated.
To be useful, not used. To
excel, not compete. I choose
self-esteem, not self-pity.
I choose to listen to the
inner voice, not the random
opinion of others.
