CHOOSING CHOICES CAREFULLY
We are who we are today because of the choices we made yesterday. Likewise, tomorrow will become the result of today's choices. Mary Crowley, successful businessperson and author, says this about choices. "We are free up to the point of choice, then the choice controls the chooser."

I am told the Canadian Northlands experience only two seasons, winter and July. As the back roads begin to thaw, they become muddy and vehicles travelling through the backcountry leave deep ruts. The ground freezes hard during the winter months and the highway ruts become part of the travelling challenges. For vehicles entering this underdeveloped area during the winter, there is a sign which reads, "Driver, please choose carefully which rut you drive in, because you'll be in it for the next 20 miles."

Choose carefully the path your life takes. Once you choose, your choices will control you.
