Choice

We choose-either to live our lives or let others live them 
for us. By making and keeping promises to ourselves and
 to others, little by little we increase our strength until our 
ability to act is more powerful than any of the forces that 
act upon us.


~Steven R. Covey

What are days for?

Days are where we live.
They come, they wake us
Time and time over.
They are to be happy in:
Where can we live but days?

~from Days, Philip Larkin
