Here is my list of quotes from the book Tuesday’s with Morrie that I felt compelled to pick out.

Throughout each of our own life journey, there likely has been situations and experiences where we’ve had to make a decision. This decision could be made toward something as simple as “what am I going to eat for dinner tonight”, to something with the magnitude of transferring a job, school, even a relationship.

Be satisfied. Be glorified. Be loved.
