If you can understand and believe that you have made choices that took you to a place you don't like, doesn't it make logical sense thatyou can now make choices that will take you to a place you do like?" ..."So now your game becomes one of seeking wisdom and harnessing the power of that wisdom in order to make better choices.

Our definition of wisdom? The ability to see into the future the consequences of your choices in the present.

We can choose not to allow the choices and actions of someone else to dictate our own.

I've got to be willing to enter into and do battle with the confusion in order to reach the victory on the other side. It's like, I am here, confusion is in front of me, and just beyond confusion waits the answer or skill I need to take my life in a new and incredible direction.

Outside influences are not responsible for where you are mentally, physically, spiritually, emotionally, or financially. You have chosen the pathway to your present destination. The responsibility for your situation is yours.

A committed heart does not wait for conditions to be exactly right. Why? Because conditions are never exactly right. Indecision limits the Almighty and His ability to perform miracles in your life. He has put the vision in you—proceed! To wait, to wonder, to doubt, to be indecisive is to disobey God.

Almost every result that your life produces from this moment forward — good or bad — will depend upon how you choose.

When confronted with a challenge, the committed heart will search for a solution. The undecided heart searches for an escape.

In Jeremiah, my Creator declares, "For I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." From this day forward, I will claim a faith in the certainty of my future. Too much of my life has been spent doubting my beliefs and believing my doubts. No more! I have faith in my future. I do not look left or right. I look forward. I can only persist.

In times of adversity, you don't have a problem to deal with; you have a choice to make.

If you do not choose, you'll end up like everyone else in the world who has never chosen. The people who do not actively choose a road to travel always default to the road everyone else is already on.

One way to define wisdom is the ability to see, into the future, the consequences of your choices in the present. That ability can give you a completely different perspective on what the future might look like.
