You can always do what you want to do.  This is true with every act.  You may say that you had to do something, or that you were forced to, but actually, whatever you do, you do by choice.  Only you have the power to chose for yourself. ~ W. Clement Stone

Some women chose to follow men, and some women chose to follow their dreams.  If you're wondering which way to go, remember that your career will never wake up and tell you that it doesn't love you any more. ~ Lady Gaga

We choose our joys and sorrows long before we experience them. ~ Kahlil Gibran

I began to observe other people. I noticed quite a few who define themselves by the drama that surrounds them, and then there are those who think being a victim is the way to get people to love you.  Some like to belittle in order to feel superior, while others charge into the world with way too much audacity, a sure sign of insecurities ahead.  This is not to say that I don't recognize myself in each and every one of the aforementioned traits.  But I do know that my yoga practice has helped with the ongoing task of removing many of my masks.  It has also helped me realize that each new day is another opportunity to bravely chose not to define myself, or let myself be defined, by negativity in any form.

And so it is that my perceptions have begun to shift.  Maybe its not that I'm hiding things, maybe I'm simply handling them. ~ Rita Trieger
