“You have to understand that in a person's life there are a few precious moments in which decisions, choices that you make now, will affect you for the rest of your life.”

“The choices you make now, the people you surround yourself with, they all have the potential to affect your life, even who you are, forever.”

“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.”

“At any given moment in your life, you have the choice between love and fear. And that’s a choice you make. You make the choice of how you react to events.”

“But with your life you make a few bad decisions, get unlucky a few times, whatever, but you have to keep going, right?”

“Just because you refuse to acknowledge something, refuse to look at it or think about it, doesn’t mean it’s not there, that it doesn’t affect you and the choices you make in your life.”

“You are given the free will, or choices in life; but you must be widely awake to make wise decisions.”

“A woman has no right to a unilateral choice that affects the rest of a man’s life any more than a man would have the right to a unilateral choice that affects the rest of a woman’s life.”

“Realize deeply that the present moment is all you have. Make the NOW the primary focus of your life.”

“There is only one thing in your life YOU can be sure of. That one thing is this moment, now. The last moment has gone forever. The next moment has not come. YOU can become fully conscious only when you are living in the moment. To begin to live in the moment you have to know it exists and understand it. To understand it you have to observe it in relation to yourself and in relation to life. When you understand it, when you become conscious, you will see it is all that exists. To see this is to glimpse reality.”
