• v»l CHOICES Success in life is a matter of making the right choices. Every day and many times a day you choose to do something or not to do it. You may blame others, you may blame conditions, and you may even fool yourself; but you choose success or failure. Choosing one thing or one direction may become a habit. You may choose what you will dream about. Choose wisely. Most people choose to follow a crowd; that is what makes a crowd. You cannot avoid choosing by letting the crowd decide. You choose to follow. Choosing is a great privilege. You can choose to think things through or to obey an impulse--to do things that bring Joy or happiness in the long run, or to do those things which bring sorrow in the years to come. You may make the shortsighted choice that brings only temporary satlsfaction--then regrets. A wise old Greek said that in the market of the gods all things are sold. He was saying that you can buy what you choose to buy. You may choose what you plan to accomplish in life and decide how hard you will drive toward achieving it. To a surprising degree you can choose your health, wealth, and happiness. You can choose plain living and high thinking—filling each unforgiving minute; or you can Just live from day to day. Choose--and remember your choices affect your life.
