| The Choice is Yours Philosophical and Artistic Exploration www.LuxuriousChoices.net |
| You have the choice: Learn from the experience, or let it defeat you. Make an ally, or make an enemy. Wisely use your resources, or waste your chances. Listen and consciously decide, or be enslaved by reaction. Open your heart and mind, or reject opportunity. Raise your voice in question, or passively accept. Seize the day, or put it off yet again. Grow and prosper, or stagnate and decline. The choice is yours. |

| "The strongest principal of growth lies in human choice." --Mary Ann Evans (a.k.a.George Eliot) The power to choose is a luxury we hold when we function as thinking human beings. However, the power to choose is also a responsibility. These pages are dedicated to the exploration of choice-- of values, ideals, beliefs, lifestyles and perception. What will you choose? |
| "I am more and more convinced that our happiness or unhappiness depends far more on the way we meet the events of life, than on the nature of those events themselves." --Alexander von Humboldt |

| How do we live up to our own ideals? Is it possible to become our own image of pefect? If we constantly compare ourselves with the way we are now to the way we wish to be, will we succeed in improving, or will we merely discourage ourselves? |
| "The most important thing is to never stop questioning." --Albert Einstein |

| One day, I opened my blinds and the world looked different-- not because I had changed so much, but because I had started to announce who I was. Of every brave act that has ever been performed, Of every danger that has ever been confronted, Of every conflict that has torn away our cells, Of every wonder we believe life offers, Nothing is so courageous, dangerous, painful, powerful or amazing as living the naked self. May that self inspire all. |

| I really don't care if Thoreau was only camping out in his back yard. It still had to be quieter than my house. |
