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 the inner voice,
not the random opinion of others.
Sometimes each day is a battle
so we try to make each day a victory
one day at a time...
