Taoist Thoughts

“Trying to look and act different from everyone still means that everyone is affecting your choices.”

“When you expect your personal beliefs to limit other people's health choices, you've gone from caring to controlling.”

“The past is the past, but your past is always with you. It's your experience that evolves your choices. Don't hide from it, embrace it.”

“I'm not a race. I'm not a gender. I'm not a number. I am what I do. I am what I do not. I am my choices. Everything else is superficial.”

“Before you blame someone else for your situation, take a hard look at the choices you've made. You may be right where you left yourself.”

“@quantumrider53 Our experiences can influence choices, but they do not demand them.”

“My skin defines how I look, but my choices define who I am. I am what I do, not what you see. Be clear, this applies to you, too.”

“@quantumrider53 Wisdom, especially in that environment, would be using the experiences to make the right choices to avoid harm.”

“Faith is a variable used to decide which choices to make. So is science. Freedom is the ability to choose no matter what variables we use.”

“You are the sum of the choices you make, not the things you own.”

“@randy178 No. For me, the events and direction of my life depend on choices and circumstance, not a divine entity.”

“Know that one of your choices is not to choose.”

“Standing up for your civil liberties isn't a choice. It's an obligation.”

“@lettermenger But you first said your heart beats without thinking. Now each heartbeat is a choice you make between living and not? :)”

“@lettermenger Perhaps the line is called "choice". Your heartbeat doesn't require a choice , a conscious action does. What do you think?”

“If someone strikes you, striking back is rarely the best choice of action. Defend, block, refute, diffuse. Stay the same.”

“Life is a steady transition. Each day absolutely new. There are no ruts to be stuck in if you make different choices.”

“Though your body will decay, the path you took will not. Your legacy will be the choices you make every day.”

“Make decisions blindly. This means only with your eyes closed to biased influence, can you make reliable choices.”

“When none of your options are desirable choices, you're still responsible for the one you make. "I had no choice" is rarely true.”
