The Choice is Mine

Donwan 1970 (New Jersey)

THE CHOICE IS MINE
I CHOOSE TO LIVE BY CHOICE, NOT BY CHANCE.
I CHOOSE TO MAKE CHANGES NOT EXCUSES.
I CHOOSE TO BE MOTIVATED NOT MANIPULATE.
I CHOOSE TO BE USEFUL, NOT USED.
I CHOOSE SELF-ESTEEM, NOT SELF-PITY.
I CHOOSE TO EXCEL, NOT TO COMPETE WITH OTHERS.
I CHOOSE TO LISTEN TO THE INNER VOICE NOT,
THE RANDOM OPINIONS OF CROWDS!
I CHOOSE TO BE ME AND ONLY LIKE GOD MADE ME TO BE.
