Our Choice

All men and women are born, live suffer and die;
What distinguishes us one from another is our dreams,
Whether they be dreams about worldly or unworldly things,
and what we do to make them come about.

We do not choose to be born.
We do not choose our parents.
We do not choose our historical epoch, or the country of our birth, or the immediate circumstances of our upbringing.

We do not, most of us, choose to die;
nor do we choose the time and conditions of our death.
But within this realm of choicelessness, we do choose how we live.

If we truly realized how precious the "Gift" of life is,
we would not waste a moment trying to improve it.
If we really understood how precious we are to the
"Gift" of life we would not waste time trying to fix ourselves.

It's not about what we look like or what we have.
It's about taking what we have and doing as much as we
can with it.
It's about learning and growing.

When we are willing to learn what we don't know and use our experiences, our perfection will begin to show.
