“As much money and life as you could want! The two things most human beings would choose above all – the trouble is, humans do have a knack of choosing precisely those things that are worst for them.”                        ― J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone

Choose!

Copyright 2017 by R.A. Robbins

“I won’t tell you that the world matters nothing, or the world’s voice, or the voice of society. They matter a good deal. They matter far too much. But there are moments when one has to choose between living one’s own life, fully, entirely, completely—or dragging out some false, shallow, degrading existence that the world in its hypocrisy demands. You have that moment now. Choose!” ― Oscar Wilde

Today’s quote is from the poem The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost.  I encourage you to read the poem in it’s entirety and take a few minutes to reflect on what these words mean to you.  Is there a road less traveled in your life that has made all the difference for you?

Today I choose life

Copyright 2017 by R.A. Robbins
