Choice! The key is Choice. You  have options. You need not spend your life  wallowing in failure, ignorance, grief, poverty, shame, and self-pity.
But, hold on! If this is true then  why have so many among us apparently elected to  live in that manner? The answer is obvious.
Those who  live in unhappy failure have never exercised their  options for a better way of life because they have  never been aware that they had any  Choices !
