old choices say

you must

you have to

you cannot

no pain no gain

that's life

we cannot change how the world works

one person cannot change the world

new choices say

you can

you are capable

you thrive

you are creator

without pain much gain

you initiate

you are passionate

your voice counts

you are loved

one person changes the world

you are the one creator

with others co-creating

you are powerful

you are the joy of the universe
... 

and the universe smiles back to you

you call them friends, the stars

the trees, the dogs, the love you feel inside

....
