I can choose how I'm going to regard unfortunate circumstances in my life-whether I will see them as curses or opportunities. I can choose my words and the tone of voice in which I speak to others. And most of all, I can choose my thoughts.

Choose, but don't want.

Even if it’s not your ideal life, you can always choose it. No matter what your life is, choosing it changes everything.

You can choose to be a person who has resulted simply from what has happened, or from what you've chosen to be and do about what has happened.

No matter what the situation, remind yourself "I have a choice."
