There is so much about my fate that I cannot control, but other things do fall under my jurisdiction. I can decide how I spend my time, whom I interact with, whom I share my body and life and money and energy with. I can select what I can read and eat and study. 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.

She looks like she's asking me what I think, lol. great quote! Good to remember when we feel like so many choices/rights are being taken away.
Absolutely words to live by. The greatest choice we make in life, the one with the greatest impact, is simply where to direct our attention.
