The strongest principle of growth lies in human choice.
George Eliot
The laws of our universe create many random acts of nature that are outside our control, but within those limits, there is always a morally responsible and accountable individual free choice.
Each human soul has the Yetzer HaTov and the Yetzer HaRa, the individual struggle between our good and evil inclinations. We have the power to transcend our limitations through the choices we make.
We choose how we use our bodies and what we put into them.
We choose our thoughts and the words we say.
We choose our attitudes and our beliefs.
We choose our actions, our time, our work and our play.
We choose our ability to make a choice that betters humanity and to act upon it.
It’s easy to do good. The challenge is to do good well.
