Choices

In every single thing you do in life, you are making a choice.

If you choose hate, you forgo love.
If you choose sorrow, you forgo joy.
If you choose war, your forgo peace.
If you choose impatience, you forgo patience.
If you choose ill-will, you forgo kindness.
If you choose evil, you forgo goodness.
If you choose self-indulgence, you forgo self-control.
If you choose disloyalty, you forgo faithfulness.
If you choose harshness, you forgo gentleness.

Seems like a lot of mess, doesn't it?

But, just turn those traits around and see what you get.

If you choose love, you forgo hate.
If you choose joy, you forgo sorrow.
If you choose peace, your forgo war.
If you choose patience, you forgo impatience.
If you choose kindness, you forgo ill-will.
If you choose goodness, you forgo evil.
If you choose self-control, you forgo self-indulgence.
If you choose faithfulness, you forgo disloyalty.
If you choose gentleness, you forgo harshness.

Choose wisely.
