We sometimes forget that we have choices. 

We choose to stay where we are or seek change. 

We choose to respond in anger or compassion. 

We choose to hold a grudge and seek revenge or let go of the past and seek reconciliation. 

We choose awareness or distraction. 

We choose to criticize or accept. 

We choose the comfortable known or the difficult unknown. 

We choose carelessness or purpose. 

We choose to hate or love. 

We have choices.
