Every day, in every moment, you get to exercise choices that will determine whether or not you will become a great person, living a great life. Greatness is not something predetermined, predestined or carved into your fate by forces beyond your control. Greatness is always in the moment of the decision. Jeff Olson

Stop asking "What should I do now?" That question only brings up what others expect of you. The shoulds are nothing but social programming.



Free people don’t have shoulds. They have choices. Steve Pavlina

Life is like a giant smorgasbord of more delicious alternatives than you can ever hope to taste. So you have to reject having some things you want in order to get other things you want more.

Some people fail at this point, afraid to reject a good alternative for fear that the loss will deprive them of some essential ingredient to their personal happiness. As a result, they pursue too many goals at the same time, achieving few or none of them.

So it's important to remember: it doesn't really matter if some things are unavailable to you, because the selection of what IS available is so great. Ray Dalio
