I can choose my thoughts...

There is so much about my fate that I cannot control, 

but other things do fall under the 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.
