My
ability to respond to a world,
over
which I have no control,
is a
powerful gift.

If I crumble
in the face of adversity,
I have
chosen to be weak and beaten down.
If I
soar to the heights of happiness,
I have
chosen to fly.

Situations
will choose me,
but
they will never own me.
How I
react to them will always
be a
matter of my own choice.
