Life is nothing but a chain of infinite choices. As we mentioned in the intro, we make hundreds of daily choices that we forget about.
Small changes like what to eat for a lunch or what to wear to the work don’t have much impact by themselves, but when you add many decisions together those choices can take you down a different path.

Such choices are hard to make. and that’s why they should be made after checking all the possibilities. Remember, you do have the power over your choices. When you check your options and find the best one, you leave very little scope to regret. And that’s how dream life is created.
Hope these smart the choice quotes can help you to make your right decision at your every stage of your life.
