Hoda Kotb Quotes

'How does your life turn out?' That's the ultimate novelistic question to me.

Life is full of confusion. Confusion of love, passion, and romance. Confusion of family and friends. Confusion with life itself. What path we take, what turns we make. How we roll our dice.

Your life moves in patterns toward things, and things that we achieve finally are part of this mosaic. I just think that we create our own fate.

As a person, I am totally obsessed with the choices and decisions we make in our lives and how they dictate the course of our lives. Seemingly random choices that we make end up defining everything.

Life's all about choices. Everyone's destination is the same; only the paths are different.

There are always those moments in football - and life in general - which can decide the path and the route you go down.

Decisions, they shape our destiny.

Coming back is the thing that enables you to see how all the dots in your life are connected, how one decision leads you another, how one twist of fate, good or bad, brings you to a door that later takes you to another door, which aided by several detours--long hallways and unforeseen stairwells--eventually puts you in the place you are now.

When I was growing up in Terrell, Texas, I felt that it was not where I was supposed to be. I knew that I was meant for a different destination. I think that the minute I was born, there was something inside telling me where I would go, it's like energy - an intangible destiny.

Maybe our mistakes are what make our fate.

I believe life takes us where we need to be.

It is in your moments of decision that your destiny is shaped.

Every man has his own destiny: the only imperative is to follow it, to accept it, no matter where it leads him.

It's the niceties that make the difference fate gives us the hand, and we play the cards.

One of the most important things that I have learned in my 57 years is that life is all about choices. On every journey you take, you face choices. At every fork in the road, you make a choice. And it is those decisions that shape our lives.

He who chooses the beginning of the road chooses the place it leads to. It is the means that determines the end.

It's choice - not chance - that determines your destiny.

Life drew me and I followed it.

We seal our fate with the choices we take, but don't give a second thought to the chances we take.

Any decision I make is the biggest decision of my life.

Remember, the choices we make today shape the people we become tomorrow.

Any young man coming of age has a lot to go through. Peter Parker certainly has a lot of responsibility, and without doubt, so does Pippin - his role, his life, and how he is going to perform it. It's all about choices and how we make them.

The saddest thing in life is wasted talent and the choices you make will shape your life forever.

The choices that we make through our lives, the people who intersect us on our path kind of change what our fated destiny is. So some of us are lucky enough for the choices that we make to keep us on our path.

The only reason I wound up in Nashville and went to Belmont University is because that's where I needed to be.
