You Get to Decide

"Dogma is living with the results of other people's thinking."

You get to decide.

If you're going to exercise.
If you're going to approach that girl.
If you're going to prioritize your life in a particular way.

You get to decide if you'll be like your parent(s) or not.
You get to decide.
In this moment it really is up to you and only you. 
It's always been up to you.
That's the beauty of the human condition.
You have easier access to technology and resource(s) than 99.9% of the human beings who have ever lived and died on this rock floating in space.

Wrap your brain around that.
