Simon Sinek Quotes

Death is not the opposite of life, but the opposite of choice.

There are two things that you have to do in life: You have to die, and you have to live until you die. The rest is up to you.

People can tell you what to do, but ultimately, we're all going to die, so how do you want to live?

You have a choice. Live or die. Every breath is a choice. Every minute is a choice. To be or not to be.

To be, or not to be, that is the question.

I was blessed with a birth and a death, and I guess I just want some say in between.

We do not choose the day of our birth nor may we choose the day of our death, yet choice is the sovereign faculty of the mind.

Man is condemned to be free; because once thrown into the world, he is responsible for everything he does.

Maybe we cannot escape from the destiny of the human, but we have a choice: to suffer our destiny or to enjoy our destiny.

You have a choice. Live or die. Every breath is a choice. Every minute is a choice. Every time you don't throw yourself down the stairs, that's a choice. Every time you don't crash your car, you re-enlist.

To live is to choose.

Our fate is matched by the total freedom we have to react to our fate. It is as if we were dealt a hand of card. Once we have them, we are free to play them as we choose.

We are not permitted to choose the frame of our destiny. But what we put into it is ours.

Ultimately, you choose to be happy or miserable. The reality is that although you are free to choose, you can't choose the consequences of your choices. They're preloaded. It's a package deal.

You're going to die. You're going to be dead. It could be 20 years, it could be tomorrow, anytime. So am I. I mean, we're just going to be gone. The world's going to go on without us. All right now. You do your job in the face of that, and how seriously you take yourself you decide for yourself.

I believe that fate is choices - it's not chance.

The inexorable compulsion of all things is towards health or destruction, life or death, and we hasten our joys or our woes to the logical extreme. It is urgent, therefore, that we be joyous if we wish to live.

We almost always have choices, and the better the choice, the more we will be in control of our lives.

To be or not to be. That's not really a question.

You are doomed to make choices. This is life's greatest paradox.

As contemporary history reminds us we are human to the extent that we are able to chose between alternatives.

The simplest way to say it is that I think we're all dealt these cards in life, but the cards in and of themselves don't read one way or the other. It's up to you to home in and cultivate whatever you've got in your hand.

Man is condemned to be free.

A free man thinks of death least of all things; and his wisdom is a meditation not of death but of life.
