Million Dollar Baby ultimately is a film about choices, especially the decisions we face when our life situations seem to have us against the ropes. Do we despair about the odds being against us or do we hope for what we dream could be possible?

ON DECISIONS

No trumpets sound when the important decisions of our life are made. Destiny is made known silently.
--Agnes de Mille (1909 - 1993)

Good plans shape good decisions. That's why good planning helps to make elusive dreams come true.
--Lester R. Bittel, The Nine Master Keys of Management

ON DECISIONS
(Message Bible)

Joshua 1:7
Give it everything you have, heart and soul. Make sure you carry out The Revelation that Moses commanded you, every bit of it. Don't get off track, either left or right, so as to make sure you get to where you're going.

Matthew 6:24
"You can't worship two gods at once. Loving one god, you'll end up hating the other. Adoration of one feeds contempt for the other. You can't worship God and Money both.

Matthew 10:32
"Stand up for me against world opinion and I'll stand up for you before my Father in heaven.

Matthew 12:30
"This is war, and there is no neutral ground. If you're not on my side, you're the enemy; if you're not helping, you're making things worse.

Luke 9:59-62
Jesus said to another, "Follow me."
He said, "Certainly, but first excuse me for a couple of days, please. I have to make arrangements for my father's funeral."
Jesus refused. "First things first. Your business is life, not death. And life is urgent: Announce God's kingdom!"
Then another said, "I'm ready to follow you, Master, but first excuse me while I get things straightened out at home."
Jesus said, "No procrastination. No backward looks. You can't put God's kingdom off till tomorrow. Seize the day."

Luke 16:13
No worker can serve two bosses:
He'll either hate the first and love the second
Or adore the first and despise the second.
You can't serve both God and the Bank.
