Everything is a result of the choices we have made. At any moment, by changing our consciousness and changing our choices, we can change our life into a happier one. Everything comes down to the choices we make in this moment. — Masami Saionji
Our life is comprised of a series of choices and decisions made day by day and moment by moment, and every choice we face presents a new fork in our path. In this collection of talks delivered in 2004, Masami Saionji untangles the web of influences on our choices — from religion, to social norms and conventions, to our own doubts and emotional fixations — and declares unequivocally that we are the masters of our own thoughts and the creators of our life. When we cease relying on others and on external powers, and take a close look at the basis of our choices, we will find that, one choice at a time, we are able to guide ourselves on our own unique path.
