"Life is composed of our choices and constructed by our words." To change your life, change your choices and the use of your words.
You cannot correct whats wrong in your life by continuing to do the same things that caused the problems. You have to be willing to change. You have to have courage to change. Change is the only constant in maturity.
Courage is exemplified by walking away from something when you prefer to fight. Courage is also shown by the willingness to fight when your prefer to run. It is the wisdom to know the difference.
