“On the topic of habits, being human and self-control:
“. . . man has the freedom to choose.
“Within the freedom to choose are those endowments that make us uniquely human. In addition to self-awareness, we have imagination — the ability to create in our minds beyond our present reality. We have conscience — a deep inner awareness of right and wrong, of the principles that govern our behavior, and a sense of the degree to which our thoughts and actions are in harmony with our self-awareness, free of all other influences.”1
“Look at the word responsibility — “response–ability” — the ability to choose your response. Highly proactive people recognize that responsibility. They do not blame circumstances, conditions, or conditioning for their behavior.” 2
No one can hurt you without your consent. Eleanor Roosevelt
They cannot take away our self respect if we do not give it to them. Gandhi
We are not victims. We are all powerful people who get to choose. If you give your choice away to someone else, you still made a choice.
