Chosen behavior

The vast majority of the things you do are not forced upon

you. They are your choice.

Yes, certainly there are powerful influences on your life

that are outside your control. And yet, the choice of how
to

respond to those influences is yours.

There are plenty of perfectly understandable reasons,

rationalizations and excuses for the things you do. And
yet,

the actions you end up taking are the direct result of the

choices you make, whether there are good reasons behind
them

or not.

It is indeed a demanding job to be responsible for your
own

behavior. It is also a magnificent opportunity.

By exercising thoughtful, purposeful control over the

actions you take, you can achieve whatever you decide to

achieve. By always remembering that your behavior is your

choice, you can use that behavior to extremely valuable

benefit, for yourself and for your world.

Before you act, remind yourself that you are in control of

your actions. Then choose to take those actions that will

lift you ever higher.
