About This Quote

This quote is an excellent reflection on the power of persistence. It can be applied to any situation where you are faced with the choice of doing something that is not in your best interest or doing nothing. You must make a conscious decision to do something, no matter how difficult or painful it may be. If you don’t make a decision, you allow your conscious and unconscious mind to make the decision for you.

That’s where regrets come from. Those are the things that you would rather have done differently.
