When we are really honest with ourselves we must admit our lives are all that really belong to us. So it is how we use our lives that determines the kind of men we are.

What, then, is your own? The way you live your life.

That this, right here, right now, is our life. It is not our parents’ or our children’s, not our husbands’ or our wives’. It is not made more or less valuable by our job or how much we have in the bank. Our life is ours. It is the only one we will ever have. And we should love it.

we're responsible for our own lives.

Our lives are fashioned by our choices. First we make our choices. Then our choices make us.

Our own life has to be our message.

our lives teach us who we are

Our life is what our thoughts make it.

We must be careful with our lives, for Christ's sake, because it would seem that they are the only lives we are going to have in this puzzling and perilous world, and so they are very precious and what we do with them matters enormously.

What we do and think in our own lives, then, becomes of extreme importance as it effects everything we're connected to.

It is our attitude toward life that determines life’s attitude toward us. We get back what we put out.

It's not the men in your life that matters, it's the life in your men.

What is said about men often has as much influence upon their lives, and especially upon their destinies, as what they do.

Everything you have in life can be taken from you except one thing, your freedom to choose how you will respond to the situation. This is what determines the quality of the life we’ve lived — not whether we’ve been rich or poor, famous or unknown, healthy or suffering. What determines our quality of life is how we relate to these realities, what kind of meaning we assign them, what kind of attitude we cling to about them, what state of mind we allow them to trigger.
