For me,I choose"life is matter of choice and decision because we are the only holds our decision in life.We are the one who make our life and no one can dictate or judge.We should know how to balance our decision in life ,so that we could adjust or justify the things which makes our life better.
I believe that life is full of obstacles and difficulties but we need to faced it inorder to attain and resolve the problem time to time.

For me life is a matter of choice. We are the one who decide for our future. It's just depend on how you wil work for it to make that things happen. In our life we have someone that has been planned for us by God, all we need to do is to work hard for it and look for that someon to make the things possible. In this world, everything is possible, it depends if you really want that thing happen to you. For me life is a matter of choice and decision making.

"LIFE: A MATTER OF CHANCE OR CHOICE"



Life is always about choices. we are here now because we made the choice to be here. we may not realized this but in our life, we already been through thousands and thousands of choices. think about it, what time we wake up each morning, what we have for breakfast, what clothes to wear for work or going out, what time we leave home, they are choices aren't they?
Now we see. life is an ever-going cycle. there is not a moment when time would ever stop and each day passes by, following by another new day and this will go on and on. Perhaps it has becomes such routine to us that having all these daily decision become just a habit to us, something that we need not to worry about, each day passes by just smoothly. but then again, there were times that when days don't seem that smooth? days when we feel unhappy? why would this be so? Because we meet some problem at a loss for what we should do? No doubts, this is precisely what is happening. we are faced with a new problem that is out of our daily habits. we are forced to make a choice over something not familiar to us but which we know would do a certain extent affect to our life.
Let's face it! that everything we do is always from what we choose. that sometimes we would be lost once in a while. At the end of the day what matters is that we must not be lost forever. Understand the way of life, stay in rhyme with the nature. when we have to make a choice, we just have to.

Is Life a matter of choice or destiny??

I believe our lives here on earth will reflect on how we play it and think what the best for. Life is all about choices, since everything we do, thier is always be a regret if it's a failure. In contrast, if we are successful we have no worries anymore. It is our decisions that makes us what we are now. Just for example, there is always be a choice when it comes to studying, if you are motivated to study hard to fullfil your goals then it's up to you. Otherwise if you do so, this will bring you to happiness that you'll never fell before. We could not enjoy life if we stay stagnant on the things we always know, we must take and expand beyond the beauty of God's gift. Meanwhile, we must find the grace of God and accept the things he give to us. Life is really a decision to take on, our daily activities even just a little thing will become bigger if we decide to. Cleaning, washing clothes and eating are a few little things that common to us and it's something to do with our choices. If people are optimistic then he/she have it's knowledge on how to fight for it.

for me,i choose "life is matter of choice.because we are the one to choose and to decide the right things to make our life complete.My will shall shape the future. Whether I fail or succeed shall be no man's doing but my own. I am the force; I can clear any obstacle before me or I can be lost in the maze. My choice; my responsibility; win or lose, only I hold the key to my destiny.

I believe that we are solely responsible for our choices, and we have to accept the consequences of every deed, word, and thought throughout our lifetime.

''Is life a matter of choice or chance?''

For me,life is a matter of chance rather a matter of choice.For life is just given by God and we can't never tell when or where he will take it back.It's not our choice to be in this world because it's God choice.Choice, or free will, needs availability of alternatives for any thought, speech and/ or action from which one can choose.All of us have different views in life. Some may see it as a race, saying that in life, who ever reached first the finish line is the one who succeed in life. Other sees it as a journey, as I used to see it before. That in this life, you will never stop traveling until you die. But now, I see life as a matter of choice. Every thing that happened to us is our choice. Though we all know that God has plans for us, we find it in our own way and in times we get lost but then in the end find the right choice toward God's plan
for us.
Right now, what I want in life is to fully spread my wings. I want to achieve anything that I can. Of course, I know when to stop and when to continue.

LIFE is a matter of CHOICE or CHANCE?

Only God knows what will be our future. He has given us one way to follow through and that would always lead us to a bright future. But it is still our decision on how to follow that path we may go straight slowly, faster or maybe we break the line. In case we accidentally break the line we still have the chance to make it right. Life really for me is a matter of CHOICE. If we choose of what we really want, then we will not suffer for regret but if we let others decide for our selves then you might not be happy forever. We are the one who decide for our selves we might commit a mistake but still we have the chance to fix it and make it right.

Is life a matter of chance or choice?


For me, Life is a matter of choice.All of us have different views and perspective in life.The choice is in our hand,whatever it takes we are responsible for that choice that we made because life is what we made it.
We can only see choices if we take the time to see what they can be. Choices only matter if we think them through. Then and only then we can make the best choice for ourselves that will determine our own future. As simple as it sounds, we all must try to be the best person we can: by making the best choices, by making the most of the talents we've been given.

life is a matter of choice...

it is us who make our lives miserable and at the same time wonderful. it is us who make things better and worse. i believe that life is a matter of choice because we are the ones making our decisions. and by choosing, we decide for what is good or bad for us.its just like committing a sin because of financial problems and you are eager to rob but as you try to think of it you can say that it isn't good and that's how you choose if to continue it or not.it is upon our attitudes on how to deal with our problems. if we have God with us we can easily decide for the better by not committing any sins. we live for we are here to live. we are here because of the people that surrounds us and because of them our life is worthliving.

Life Experience based on choice. If we are free at all, and if freedom matters, then we are at least free to choose. The point is that we all create our own lives. Sure, there are obstacles, unforeseen tragedies, but those just give us more options. You might think you've run out of options, but you never do. It's just that one option is to be poor for a while. But then you can create a way to build yourself back up. Choosing is all about Hope - hope that you can create a life you can experience to the full. I think we fall into despair when Hope is hidden, or when our choices will lead to dramatic changes. But you know that in short time you can choose to become a success again. Your greatest gift is your freedom to create a life for yourself, and to start over and over, if you need to. And lastly I agree to the last part of the article that "God has a plan to us, not just plan that will lead us to the failures but to leran something that we've experience failures in our life.

LIFE:A MATTER OF CHANCE OR CHOICE?


Is life a matter of chance or choice? For me, it is a matter of choice because we choose or we decide our own road in life. There are maybe chances but its our own choice to choose those chances to take, and we make good or bad results from it which we should not regret because its our choice. Our life depends on the choices we make which makes our life beautiful and meaningful. It is nice if we made a right choice but even if we made a wrong choice at least we may learn something from it. Life is just like a wheel because sometimes we might end up in the top or sometimes we might end up below that is because of the choices we make. In every choices we make is our own responsibility which it has
corresponding consequences and we should think before choosing or making a decision or we might regret for the rest of our lives.
Think before we act. amazing.

I believe that life is a matter of choice.Because It depends on us on how we are going to live our life.God is the Archetic, and we are the engineer. God has a plan for everything,and it's our choice if we will follow His plans. God always want the best for us. Everything happens for a reason. So, if you're thinking negative, the result also would be negative. You can always change it positive if you like it too. Always remember that we are the one who is working for our lives,only God plans for it. think Positive! for God, Nothing is Impossible !

Life is a matter of choice because it's our own self who decide what path to take in dealing LIFE. We are the driver of our own life. It is our choice to accelerate or decelerate; to turn right or left; to drive fast, moderate or slow; and it is us who decide which road to take.

We cannot blame anyone if we accidentally hit the ground because no one can dictate us what to do. They are only their to suggest and support. So, drive safely, blind curves ahead.

The greatest question I’ve ever encountered, "What on earth am I living for?”...Am I just an accident?

Rick Warren's best selling book I’ve read, THE PURPOSE DRIVEN LIFE, leaded me into the right path with the questions served as my map, where the answers of life are there. Given a chance for those questions is a privilege for me to speak of my reflections.
Without doubt, choices are part of life. Without it, life wouldn't be meaningful if someone else is making that so-called "decision making". I wouldn't accept that life is a matter of chance! Does it mean that I am just a big bastard that God had mistaken to give me a life?!
Not just biblically, God gave us life with purpose. We tend to question Him about that purpose and he may not answer us directly but as long us we keep in touch to His words, the answer is in our hearts if we open up to Him, listen to His great voice that no one could fathom.

I could then say that life is a matter of chance if someday my life has taken but then gave back again. But I do believe God gave me life with a great, exciting purpose. With wisdom, strength and freewill He gave to us humans, choices are bound to arrive. :)

"Life is A Matter Of Choice or Chance?"

For me,Life is a matter of choice because we are the one who choose and decide of which path we gonna go. I believe that making a decision is very hard,we have to think it twice in order for us to have a better outcome.Although it's hard to decide but we just keep in our mind that there is God who guide us always whatever the decision we made.

Life is what you make it. That simply implies that life is a matter of choice.
Some would say that they are born by chance, but it’s not what God did to us. He made us for a purpose and that purpose is accompanied by our own choices for certain options. We could be then in the right track if only we’ll follow what God’s guidelines he had brought here, the Bible.

LIFE: A MATTER OF CHANCE OR CHOICE? 


Life is a matter of chance; to some extent I think life is a matter of chance. For instance would be a person's life like me. Among the millions of cells and sperms that is supposed to be formed. Why is it that I was the one who came out in this world? I did not ask my mother or father to choose me. I did not even volunteer. It's just a matter of chance, the probability that I was the one to come out in this world. Likewise with the opportunity for work, etc.

Life is a chance also for the poor. The chance to have and experience a progressive life especially when children start from schooling. Having the chance to be in school is a great accomplishment to them. It is not true that education is a right. If it is so then all of us, the rich and the poor children would be in school by now and would resort themselves to absences and dropping out due to poverty. Students would have actually continued to study in college if they have the chance. Therefore, education is privilege, a privilege for those who can afford. In addition, they did not choose to be poor. Who could have actually like to become of it? Thus, life is a matter of chances, and not all times these chances happen in our lives. We should not slither it from our hands instead grasp it while it's still there.

LIFE: A MATTER OF CHANCE OR CHOICE?

Each one of us has a different view of life. Life is a gift from God, the greatest gift that God given to us. Some people believe that life is a matter of chance and other would say that it is a matter of choice. For me, life is a matter of choice because we people are doing our own decisions in life. We are deciding what we think is good for ourselves. Whatever trials and consequences that we are facing now are the results of what we are doing. To have a better life we should live life to the fullest. We should do good in this world. We shouldn't waste our time doing nonsense things because we are just borrowing this life and time to our Almighty God and we shouldn't forget to pray and thank God for all the blessings and gifts that He have given to us.

The greatest gift God has bestowed to us is the freedom to choose. Like in the triumphant poem of William Ernest Henley's "Invictus" it says "I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul." Hence, we are the one’s responsible or total control of our life. No unhallowed forces can dictate or seize that privilege given from God to us unless we tolerate it. However, Nobody can predict the future; thus, it is indispensable to be wise in making decisions. Because happiness or misery (not just for ourselves but as well to others) will depend upon the choices we make. Remember the famous line of Maximus of the movie Gladiator “What we do in life, Echoes in the eternities".

--- IS LIFE A MATTER OF CHANCE OR CHOICE? ---

For me it is a matter of choice and a little bit more with chances. It is because we choose what we do, though we know if it is good or bad still were doing it because it makes us happy and it is our choice. And chances come into our lives but still among those chances we choose the best one. So it is still a matter of choice that’s why where still living here and enjoying our life to the fullest. So be wise, not just think at the positive side give time to study the negative side.

Life is a matter of choice.How we make our life depend on us and only on us.We should know how to balance our life know what is right from wrong in order for us to achieve what we really want. What ever trials that comes on our way is apart of it what matter most is that we put ourself in the best of everything and no regrets.

LIFE: is it a matter of choice or chance?
For me life is a matter of chance. Because a person has a chance to live and a chance to die that's why, since we are given a chance to live our life we must take good care of it. Because seldom we are given a second chance. Life is precious that we must protect, prevent and preserve, no one can take lives except the Almighty God. Even though God gave us the freedom to decide or choose for what we whant in this life but still every thing is a matter of chance that we are given the opportunity to live life the way we want it. Beacause to wake up its day is already a chance for us to live our life in a right way....

_It's Life_

We live in this world which is full of mystery
Our life would end up empty
Or pleasure until eternity

We choose to be good
But sometimes were not satisfied
Because we found our self unidentified.

We live our life in a way we want
We depart and plant
We settle and blot.

As subsist our life
We fly like a kite
The wind blow, to test how strong and tight.

base from my own opinion, i choose life as a matter of choice rather than a matter of decision, it's because each and every individuals have their own grip and hold of their lives and the outcome of every decision we make will only be based upon how we reacted on a certain situation and how we've carefully weighed every advantage, disadvantage,and deciphered the right from the wrong...

In my own point of view, life is a matter of choice it is beacuse as we go along in our different ways in our life we still have to choice which path we will be going through.To be a good or bad member of the family and society it is our own choice. Thats why GOD give us brain to decide what we want in our life someday.

For my opinion,I believe that life is a matter of choice because what we choose in life will reflect the consequences.
I believe if we choose the right, God will do his part as a promise upon us. By then good karma will be achieved. If you want that your life will full of blessings then be a good person in and out, what I mean is that if you were a good example to yourself and to others, by doing the right things then god will provide the rest.
When I am depressed,I will always remember our church songs and it goes like this;
When upon like billows you are tempest tossed,when you are discourage thinking all is lost, count your many blessings name them one by one and it will surprise you what the lord is has done.

Count your blessings;Name them one by one.Count your blessings;See what God hath done.

Are you ever burden with a load of care? Does the cross seem heavy you are called to bear?
Count your blessings;every doubt will fly,and you will be singing as the days go by.

So a mid the conflict, whether a great or small,Do not be discouraged;God is over all.
Count your blessings;
angels will attend,
Help and comfort give your journey's end.

Life is a matter of choice. we make our own decisions for ourselves in order for a better life. we always have different chances in our life but still, in the end we still have to make a choice for us to take such responsibilities in life whether it may be good or bad. decisions doesn't always lead to good outcomes, but it is just a test for us to make a better choice for the next time we encounter trials. If we just focus on something, its our choice. we also gain something from that decision we made. just like in sports, if one is determined to succeed, one should obtain slowly by slowly the characteristics needed to succeed. these are determination, perseverance,obedience, hard work, teamwork and most specially, trust. we have to face every decisions we make in our life. for a better future and for a better you.

For me, life its either of the two, because life is given to us to have the chance to prove ourselves on how we value our life and to have the chance to experience everything and to appreciate the creation of God we are the one who chooses what we will do in our life, how we will handle it. And also its a matter of choice wether you will take that chance in a good way or just to take advantage on it. we thave all the choices or options on how we will take that chances and value it. ;p

It matters ones philipsophy in life. As for my side, I beleive life is a matter of choice yet handed with God's path. Its us who make things and thus proportionaly results to the things what weve done. If we acted the right way, proportionaly the result would be a right outcome which would be the same thing happens if we do bad things then bad things are expected to result.Life is a choice yet handed by God's path, meaning life is given by above and it is the Lord God who will serve as guidance, he serves to be the road and its up to us whether which road to pass by.

Life is a matter of choice accompanied with God's side. Choice since we live in a world of choices and thus therefore we exist to choose. Moreover, these choices depends on us, the choices varies to our motives in life and that then we make actions and ways to make it happen. We must think that as we make choices, outcomes are present in nature, but it depends on the actions we’ve made, it is expected to bring a positive or a negative effect. But then we live because of God, its him who gave us the opportunity to experience what life is. It’s not actually a destiny. I believe that every person living in this world is granted with opportunities of goodness in life which is given from Lord God, he do not wish for any bad things for us, its us who decides, whether to grab or transparently pass these opportunities.
