“There are always choices there for you.
In other words, you can look at the hole in the wall
or you can look at the beautiful painting.
You can look at the lightbulb that is out,
or you can see the lightbulb that is working.
You can look at your mate in his positive aspect
or you can look at your mate in his negative aspect.
You can look at your own body and find something that pleases you
or find something that doesn’t.
You can remember your childhood and find something of pleasure
or you can find something that makes you feel discouraged.
You can remember a compliment
or you can remember somebody down on you.
You can remember your love
or you can remember your hate.
In other words, you have that choice in every moment.”
Abraham Hicks

“I call heaven and earth to witness against you
that today I have set before you life or death, blessing or curse.
Oh, that you would choose life; that you and your children might live!
Choose to love the Lord your God and to obey him and to cling to him,
for he is your life and the length of your days.
Deuteronomy 30:19-20a Living Bible
