Motivational Quotes

Choice

The way to activate the seeds of your creation is by making choices about the results you want to create. When you make a choice, you activate vast human energies and resources, which otherwise go untapped. All too often people fail to focus their choices upon results and therefore their choices are ineffective. If you limit your choices only to what seems possible or reasonable, you disconnect yourself from what you truly want, and all that is left is compromise.

- Fritz, Robert

Best Quotes about Choice

Blyth, R. H.

Choose your love, Love your choice.

Monson, Thomas S.

James, William

Guest, Edgar A.
