The power to choose

The power to choose is uniquely human. We all have a high interest in shaping the course of our lives - making the right choices and pursuing what is important to us.

One commonly held view regards choice as merely reacting to, or selecting among, the existing options. Here, at Landmark, we take another view.

We explore choice as a profoundly human ability to create. When choice is understood and known in this way, what had previously seemed simply part of “the way things are” - inevitable or impervious to change - appears in a new light. We find ourselves able to choose - to have a say - about who we are and who we will be, as the author of our lives in any and all situations.

from the Landmark Forum Syllabus

I was really going in ...

It was not like taking the veil, no solemn abjuration of the world, I only went for a walk and finally concluded to stay 'til sundown for going out I found that I was really going in.

John Muir

We Cannot Teach People ...

When You Walk With Purpose ...

The Other Side Of Fear

You only have control over yourself ...

Being a good person doesn't guarantee that others will be good people too. 

You only have control over yourself on how you choose to be as a person. 

And for the others you can only choose to accept them or walk away!

It's Always Our Own Self ...
