The choice is yours

Do you want people to trust you, or do you want to take advantage of them? You can’t have both.

Do you want people to respect you, or do you want them to feel sorry for you? You can’t have both.

Do you want to speak and act and feel superior to others, or do you want to be genuinely admired, perhaps even loved? You can achieve one or the other, but not both.

Do you want to impress people with your style and fame and fortune, or do you want to be truly happy and fulfilled? You can focus your energy and resources on one, but not both.

Every day, every effort, every priority, every interaction is a choice. Those choices add up to the life you live.

How do you want your life to unfold from this day forward? The choice is yours.

— Ralph Marston
