  • Every choice comes with a consequence, whether you like it or not. During those times, you have the power to choose to be happy and grateful.

  • Whatever happens, you always have an option to move on and do something else. If you want different results, then make other choices and change what you don’t like. Alternatives might be restricted, but you can make your own choice.

  • Calm down, and train your mind to see the good in every situation. Be realistically optimistic, think about your options when you are under duress, and choose the best for yourself. It’s your life, after all.
