“[E]very time you make a choice you are turning the central part of you, the
part of you that chooses, into something a little different than it was before.
And taking your life as a whole, with all your innumerable choices, all your
life long you are slowly turning this central thing into
a heavenly creature or a hellish creature: either into a creature that is in harmony
with God, and with other creatures, and with itself, or else into one that is
in a state of war and hatred with God, and with its fellow creatures, and with
itself. To be the one kind of creature is heaven: that is, it is joy and peace and knowledge and power. To be the other means madness, horror,
idiocy, rage, impotence, and eternal loneliness. Each of us at each moment is
progressing to the one state of the other.”
--C.S. Lewis
My sister shared this with me recently. So powerful and a wonderful reminder of the power of choices.
