Quote by Howard Thurman

“In the face of all the uncertainties that surround any decision, the wise man acts in the light of his best judgment illumined by the integrity of his profoundest spiritual insights. Then the rest is in the hands of the future and in the mind of God. The possibility of error, of profound and terrible error, is at once the height and the depth of man’s freedom. For this, God be praised!”

“The way a person thinks is the key to everything that follows, good or bad, success or failure. A person’s thinking — the way he thinks — is the foundational structure upon which a life is built. Thinking guides decisions. Thinking — how a person thinks — determines every choice. Choices and decisions create action. Action is what a person does or says. Action is when a thing is done and how well or how often it’s done. Action is what a person says and to whom and with what tone of voice. A person’s actions lead to good results, bad results, and no results. And don’t forget that ‘nothing’ is an actual result. A person's thinking is what he is. There's no getting around it.”
