Make The Choice
Lesson 5 Section 1
All of the experiences you want to have and all of the possibilities for your future depend on this: Choose life and tell death "No." Making this choice is the first action step once you believe that a positive future is possible for you.
Time is a gift that you can offer to yourself. You deserve to have the time to consider options and alternatives before making a critical decision.
I want you to commit to living for a while longer. How much longer? Commit to living for as much time as you’re able to right now. This is time that you can gift to yourself and offer to your family, friends, and support network. More time means more possibilities.
“Everything can be taken from a person but one thing: the last of human freedoms
– to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances,
to choose one’s own way.”
- Viktor E Frankl
How to "Choose life"
I want to keep this one simple so that you can just get it done. Whether you can commit to a decade or a day, if you make that explicit commitment to someone that you trust, then it will be stronger.
