“Questions that begin ‘If I had/if I had not’ have no true answers. You can never know how your actions may have impacted Master Jason’s fate. And if you could know, that knowledge would not change the past. The only good that can come of these musings is that which you have already found: in taking the lessons of the past, such as they may be, to guide your choices in the present.”

“Every choice starts with a decision. Every decision starts with a thought. Every thought starts with a pre-conceived idea. It is up to you to decide what you do with each but always remember that the choice you make will result in the consequence you face.”

“Pilihlah sesuatu dan belajarlah hidup dengan konsekuensinya.”

“Envision life as you’re juggling 6 balls. The balls are called faith, work, family, health, friends, and integrity. But one day, you realize that work is a rubber ball. If dropped, it will bounce back. The other 5 balls faith, family, health, friends, & integrity are made of glass. If you drop one of these, it will be surely scuffed, nicked, or even shattered. Grasp this concept and you will have the beginnings of balance in your life.”

“If I knew how and where to sacrifice myself, I must know how and where to save myself.”

“Life is like a library: you can borrow whichever experiences you deem pleasant, and easily return those that bring you pain.”

“For me, better is energy-giving, flourishing, stretching, thriving, making progress one step at a time.”

“When we’re brave enough to try something else we can often change what we understand to be possible or worth doing, and ultimately who we believe ourselves to be.”

“By acting or performing our way into a new way of thinking, we can sometimes unearth elements of us that we didn’t believe were possible.”

“Better is about believing you can be – and do – more than you thought. And at the heart of becoming better at anything is the ability to make better choices.”

“One reason the concept of becoming better can scare us is that it requires us to step out of a place that we recognize and have possibly grown comfortable with.”

“The uncertainties in life are so uncertain for us to determine the kind woe we shall be entangled in in the next future. When you stay dormant, your life is at risk; when you dare to take a step, you take a step to take a risk. We have a choice. Yes! a choice to choose to dare to get to our real reasons on earth or to choose to live in mediocrity and conformity, but, we ought to note that, it is riskier to risk nothing when the life we live is always at risk.”

“Sometimes in life, a sudden situation, a moment in time, alters your whole life, forever changes the road ahead.”

“You have a choice, you can be someone who makes it happen or someone who lets it happen.”

“The choice to make good choices is the best choice you can choose. Fail to make that choice and on most choices you will lose.”
