There is so much about my fate that I cannot control, but other things do fall under the jurisdiction.

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.
~ Elizabeth Gilbert
