Should I stay in this relationship? Should I look for a new job? The list goes on and on. How do we know if we’re making the best choice for our lives? Consider these five quotes on how to have confidence in the decisions you make.
1. “We should never decide that something is impossible and buy into the belief, ‘I’ll never be able to do that.’ The power of the entire universe is inherent in our lives. … When we firmly decide, ‘I can do it!’ we can break through the walls of self-imposed limitations.” —Daisaku Ikeda, Buddhist philosopher
2. “May your choices reflect your hopes, not your fears.” —Nelson Mandela, Activist and former President of South Africa
3. “Second Soka Gakkai President Josei Toda taught me: ‘First, decide: This is what I’m going to do. I’m going to win without fail!’ Whether you are so resolved will determine victory or defeat. This is the philosophy of winning.” —Daisaku Ikeda, Buddhist philosopher
4. “Our lives are fashioned by our choices. First we make our choices. Then our choices make us.” —Anne Frank, German diarist
5. “If you make the decision yourself, you’ll have no regrets later.” —Daisaku Ikeda, Buddhist philosopher
