  Ultimately, everything I do is my own decision and nobody else's.
I do agree with part of this quote that we are the ones who make our own decisions and that in the end, no matter what people tell us, the decisions that we make are up to us. Sometimes people think that they can make decisions for others or have had decisions made for them by others, but that just means that those people were influenced or were trying to influence others in their decision making process. People can help you in your decision making process and can try to change the way you look at a decision your facing but ultimately it is up to you to decide.
 Everyone makes important decisions everyday that are up to them, even after the imput of others. Some of them being less important like picking out a shirt or exercising, and some being very important like which college to go to and what you want to be in life. With the smaller decisions we usually see that our friends and people that we are close to can greatly sway in one way or another, because they are not as important and we care what others think about us. But with the larger decisions we see that usually, even after we have been given advice and people have tried to change our mind, it ultimately comes down to what we want and how we want it done. Because many people have different opinions and some of them may go against what we want, we often see that we are torn between choosing what we want vs. what others have influenced us to believe.
