Living by Choice: Making the Decisions That Define Your Life

Living by Choice was written to help us better understand the power of our choices . . . that our choices not only define who we are today, but ultimately the type of person we turn out to be. The book is intended to help ADULTS who want to make better choices in their lives, PARENTS who are teaching choice-making skills to their children, and YOUNG PEOPLE working to gain insight into how to develop their lives. The book stresses that each of us has the personal responsibility of managing our life and that we do so—effectively or otherwise—through the choices we make. Living by Choice was written to motivate individuals, young and old, to stop and consider the choices they are making. The book is intended to stimulate your thinking . . . to help you think about your life and motivate you to make any choices needed to adjust the way you are living yours. To accomplish this, the book contains fourteen (14) sections including Managing Your Life, Being an Honest Person, and Creating a Caring You. Within these fourteen sections, the book addresses eighty-two (82) important choices that most of us face in life including The Choice to Be an Independent Thinker, The Choice to Let Love Guide Your Life, and The Choice to Respect Our Differences to name a few. Each choice topic provides a brief “thinking experience" . . . requiring only a few minutes to read but providing thoughts and perspectives the reader might want to ponder much longer. For those who want to make personal notes for later reference, space is provided at the end of each section. We are indeed “who we choose to be” and Living by Choice serves as an important reminder of this fact.
