  … so choose wisely.
  And really choose wisely because the quality of your choices determines the QUALITY OF YOUR LIFE. It can be no other way.
  You might think that sounds obvious, but this is a very misunderstood concept. We often times feel stuck with the choices we've made, so we never make new ones. We accept unhappiness because we cannot see any other way out. But choices are always meant to be changed. You are only stuck in the belief that you cannot change them.
  It's YOUR life… No one else's. And if a choice you've made isn't serving you (for whatever reason), make another choice. The fact of the matter is that no one has control over your life unless you give it them. And why would you do that? Why would you give up your freedom of choice and keep yourself glued to a choice you once made that no longer makes you happy? When you give up your freedom of choice, you have lost the game of your own life. And trust me, it is a game you don't want to lose.
  So what are you waiting for? Do you want to change your life? Do you want to be happy? Give yourself that chance. Recognize that we live and die by our choices and that the quality of our lives is always contingent on the quality of the choices we are making. The only thing we have in our life are our choices… so choose wisely.

  … for change.
  Let it drive your transformation.
  In other words – if it hurts you, it will change you. And that's a good thing.
  We all run from pain, no one likes to feel it. Everyone labels it as "bad." But the reality is that it's only through your pain that you are able to truly transform yourself because YOU HAVE TO. You can no longer go on experiencing the pain nor do you want to go back to the source that caused it. Therefore the only way through your pain is literally through it and out the other end. And that is where change lies.
  When you let yourself truly feel the pain, you innately know which direction to go in, in order to heal. Just like a child touching a hot stove, it is only through the pain of a burned finger that he learns never to do that again, never to engage in similar behavior again.
  If you never allow yourself to feel the pain, how can you transform the behavior? You can't. If you ignore the pain and push it down, where's the learning? There isn't any. Where there is no pain, there can be no transformation and where there is no transformation, there can never be growth and with no growth, there can be no happiness. It's a simple as that.
  You always have a choice. But the highest choice is to allow yourself to feel the pain, hit rock bottom with it and let it transform you from a stubborn caterpillar into that beautiful butterfly. And as we all know, the view from above is always much more liberating.
