Daily Inspiration Quote by Karolina Kurkova

"It is up to us to make the right choice and the right decisions"

About this Quote

Agency is the real accessory here, and Kurkova wears it like a corrective to the fashion world’s favorite illusion: that your life is something styled by other people. “It is up to us to make the right choice and the right decisions” reads simple, almost self-help, but its intent is sharper than it looks. A supermodel’s career is built inside a machine of bookings, castings, brand demands, and public projection. Saying “up to us” is a quiet reclamation from that apparatus, a reminder that even in an industry organized around being chosen, you still have to choose.

The repetition - “choice” and “decisions” - matters. “Choice” suggests values and direction; “decisions” suggests follow-through, the unglamorous work after the inspirational poster. It’s a two-step choreography: define what you want, then do the thing that proves it. The phrase “the right” also betrays the pressure underneath. In fashion, “right” often means profitable, palatable, thin, young, compliant. Kurkova’s framing nudges “right” back toward personal ethics: boundaries, health, what you won’t trade for access.

The subtext is that autonomy is not a mood, it’s a practice. For a public figure whose image is constantly edited, consumed, and interpreted, the line functions as reputational self-defense: don’t mistake my visibility for my consent. Culturally, it lands in the era of branded empowerment, but it resists pure slogan by pointing to accountability. Not “believe in yourself,” but: you’re responsible for the life you’re building, even when the spotlight tries to build it for you.
