We got where we are because our choices mapped the route and paved the road.

It’s not that I’ve been invited to the hole I’m standing in. It’s that I accepted the invitation.

We often throw rocks not realizing that they’re going to land somewhere.

Maybe we ought to consider that sometimes the most destructive outcomes in our lives are the ones that we’ve created.

My life is a series of invitations accepted and invitations rejected, and the place I now find myself is often a result of accepting the wrong invitations and rejecting the right ones.

If my decisions constantly heed the voice of the world, I can be completely assured that I’m going to end up in a ‘world of hurt.’ If my decisions heed the word of God, I can be completely assured that this ‘world of hurt’ won't be anywhere near my solar system.
