Or a hell of Heaven.

“You always have choices. In everything. It’s just a matter of finding one that allows you to get where you want to go. And to go for it!”
“Life is like a game of cards. The hand that is dealt you represents determinism; the way you play it is free will.”

Shawn these are tremendous. I love reading these quotes and I love reading everyones responses to them. You have a tremendous project going here. As for me I like this one. We choose our joys and sorrows long before we experience them. -Kahlil Gibran
The amazing reality of life is that we are not simply the sum total of all our choices. We are more than that. For the outcome of all our choices provide yet another circumstance within which we do not have to choose to live. We always have the opportunity to make better choices than those we have already made.
So well-said, David. I’m going to try to remember and always internalize it.
I learned this, this past year when I was diagnosed with Stage 2 Breast Cancer. I spent a good portion of my life unhappy and concentrating on the wrong things. I made the choice after my diagnosis that I would no longer live that way. I have been counting my blessings ever since. Thank you for the great quotes.
