“The choice you make, between hating and forgiving, can become the story of your life.”

“All your life, you will be faced with a choice. You can choose love or hate…I choose love.”

“Why do most of us make such boring choices for the stories of our lives? How hard can it be to change gears and say, "You know what? Instead of inventing and telling stories, I’m going to make my life a more interesting story."”

“If you don't turn your life into a story, you just become a part of someone else's story.”

“Accounts are not quite settled between us," said she, with a passion that equaled my own. "I can love, and I can hate. You had your choice. You chose to spurn the first; now you must test the other.”

“I think the hardest thing in life is to forgive. Hate is self destructive. If you hate somebody, you're not hurting the person you hate, you're hurting yourself. It's a healing, actually, it's a real healing… forgiveness.”

“The choices you make now will affect you for the rest of your life.”

“One's character is set at an early age. The choices you make now will affect you for the rest of your life. I hate to see you swim out so far you can't swim back.”

“If someone makes a mistake and you still want them in your life, then forgive them.”

“Everything in your life is a reflection of a choice you once made. If you want different results, make different choices.”
