Decisions determine destiny

Decisions determine destiny

Thomas s. monson

It is in your moments of decision that your destiny is shaped.

Tony Robbins

I believe that you control your destiny, that you can be what you want to be. You can also stop and say, 'No, I won't do it, I won't behave his way anymore. I'm lonely and I need people around me, maybe I have to change my methods of behaving,' and then you do it.

Leo Buscaglia

These quote relate to my life because when I don’t take control my plans don’t go as planned. But it’ll be different if I step up to the plate and be determined. If I don’t have that to show them how else will I get what I want. You can choose to either have in your conscious that you did good and got good. Ids rather have that than be dependent and not be disappointed when it doesn’t come out as I wanted. For example if I ask my friend to draw a picture for me and it comes out not the way I wanted, I can’t complain. I’m stick with the drawing because my friend worked really hard on it and it’s too late to start doing it. I can’t be picky nor choosing is I’m asking for a favor. If I want it a certain way I’d have to do it myself. If you desire to do something then do it and it’ll happen.

This relates to my life planning book because I have goals and if I don’t have determination then how else will they get done. How else would they have a checkmark next to them and a happy face to show I accomplished my goals?

 

Caring

Caring

Displaying kindness and concern for others

Never believe that a few caring people can't change the world. For, indeed, that's all who ever have.

Margaret Mead

Caring is a way of life, caring for someone other than yourself is a deed. I care for my family and boyfriend very much, I love them. I share cloth with my sister and can share a cup of water with my boyfriend. I can’t live without my family and can honestly say the same in regards to my boyfriend. I care for them very much and will care for them till the end of time.

Boldness

Boldness

Not hesitating or fearful in the face of actual or possible danger or rebuff; courageous and daring: a bold hero. Not hesitating to break the rules of propriety; forward; impudent: He apologized for being so bold as to speak to the emperor.

“Love, like Fortune, favors the bold.”

― E.A. Bucchianeri, Brushstrokes of a Gadfly

Being bold in other words is having courage and standing up for you. The quote reeled me in because it says to love people or something the way fortune or goods prefer to be bold

Attitude

Attitude

A settled way of thinking or feeling about someone or something, typically one that is reflected in a person's behavior.

“A bad attitude is like a flat tire, if you don’t change it then you’ll never get anywhere” by: inspiration boost

I agree with this quote 100% because it’s so true. If you have a negative attitude toward anything, who’s going to like you? Or who’s going to listen to you? Communication is key and if you don’t own it then you have to start getting used to not going anywhere in life.

 

Personal development

Personal development

“When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves.” – Viktor E Frankl – Man’s Search for Meaning

“Life is never incomplete if it is an honorable one. At whatever point you leave life, if you leave it in the right way, it is whole.” – Seneca – Stoic Philosophy of Seneca

“The primary cause of unhappiness is never the situation but your thoughts about it.” – Eckhart Tolle – A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life’s Purpose

All of these personal development quotes relate to a self-changing manner. They are all about feeling at peace with their actions and self-liability. This relates to my life planning book in a way, they goals set goals to feel good about them and have something to thrive for.

 

Assertiveness

Assertiveness

Assertiveness is the quality of being self-assured and confident without being aggressive. In the field of psychology and psychotherapy, it is a learnable skill and mode of communication.

“We despise and abhor the bully, the brawler, the oppressor, whether in private or public life, but we despise no less the coward and the voluptuary. No man is worth calling a man who will not fight rather than submit to infamy or see those that are dear to him suffer wrong.”

― Theodore Roosevelt

Assertiveness is the positive form of aggressiveness. When we are assertive, we have the strength to resist negative or hurtful influences. We think for ourselves, ask for what we need, and speak up to protect ourselves and others.

 

attribute

Attribute

Attribute a quality or feature regarded as a characteristic or inherent part of someone or something.

Women attribute their success to working hard, luck, and help from other people. Men will attribute that - whatever success they have, that same success - to their own core skills.

Sheryl Sandberg

Reflection: to attribute I giving something to put on the table. Just like I attribute my knowledge I get to class or how I attribute money every time I go to church
