"Although we often have little choice of what happens to us, we surely have some choice as to what happens in us." - Evelyn Underhill.

My circumstances may often seem out of my control, but I get to chose how I will respond. So much of life is won and lost in the attitude rather than the circumstance.

i love this quote. so very very true. it reminded me of a Viktor Frankl quote -- "Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom. "

and this one -- "Everything can be taken from a man or a woman but one thing: the last of human freedoms to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's own way."

shalom to you...
