Something inspirational:

“Attitude is a choice. Happiness is a choice. Optimism is a choice. Kindness is a choice. Giving is a choice. Respect is a choice. Whatever choice you make makes you. Choose wisely.”

  1. This quote kind of climbed into me when I read it and it stayed the entire morning.

    I guess I was amazed at how much this quote helped me.

    1. Thanks Tim. Yes, I love how quotes do help and speak to us. Their words tell us what we already know, but would rather not think about.

      Their words speak to our souls, if only we sit up and listen. I am so pleased you did.

  2. Life doesn't just happen. Everything that happens to us in life is as a result of our choices and each choice has many possibilities.

    Our choices say more about us than our abilities.

    1. Thank you. Yes, I couldn't agree more and you're right. I do think we're not getting this right.

      Where you say 'our choices say more about us than our abilities' - if more of us understood or thought about that, how different we and our lives would be.

      It's back to basics on this one.
