Conscious endeavor. . .

I know of no more encouraging fact than the unquestioned ability of a man to elevate his life by conscious endeavor. - Henry David Thoreau


Nate Note - For me, this quote is about forgiveness. While we should learn from our past mistakes it is more important to realize you have an opportunity to change your thinking, words, actions, habits, and behaviors. Moment by moment, day by day, week by week, throughout your life you make the choices. Too often we mistakenly believe our past choices decide our future choices. Are there consequences to choices? Absolutely! But you get to decide if you will take responsibility for them and do what is right, right now. From this moment, choice by choice, we may by conscious endeavor elevate our lives and forgive ourselves for our past choices.
