I choose

This poem (unkown autor) was passed to me by a friend and worth to share.

I choose:  

to live by choice, not by chance.

To make changes, not excuses.

To be motivated, not manipulated.

To be useful, not used.

To excel, not compete.

I choose self-esteem, not self-pity.

I choose to listen to my inner voice;

not to the random opinions of others.
