Choices
We are defined by our choices, not our circumstances. By the choices we make and the choices we don’t make. (King Abdullah of Jordan)
Many of us try to explain away some of our troubles by blaming them on our circumstances. If people only understood what we are going through, they would be less critical of our decisions and actions. King Abdullah makes it clear, however, that regardless of our current circumstances, we are responsible for the actions that result from our choices.
A wise person chooses the right road; a fool takes the wrong one (Ecclesiastes 10:2).
