“One choose their attitude. Contentment is a decision. Positivity is a decision. Being kind is a decision. Offering is a decision. Honor is a decision. You are what you choose to be. Select carefully.

“What makes you happy or sad has nothing to do with what you own, who you are, where you are, or what you are doing. What matters is how you interpret it.

A few times in your life, all of your instincts will tell you to do something that seems strange to other people, defies reason, and upsets your plans. That’s when you take action. Pay attention to your gut and disregard any other information. Just go for it; disregard reason, probability, and complexity.

“Since he who is thus desires nothing, true pleasure is to enjoy the present without worrying about the future, to not entertain ourselves with dreams or concerns, but to rest contented with what we have. The greatest gifts humanity has to offer are right here, within our grasp. A wise man does not wish for what he does not have; instead, he is content with his lot in life, whatever it may be.
… Seneca

“I have no control over a lot of things regarding my destiny, but there are some things that are within my authority.” I have the power to choose how and with whom I spend my time, as well as who I share my body, life, finances, and energy with. I get to choose what I eat, read, and study. I have the power to decide whether I will view the bad things that happen to me in my life as chances or curses. I have the power to decide what I say to other people and how I say it. Moreover, I have the ability to select my thoughts.
Gilbert, Elizabeth

Persistence is the only thing that can replace it in this world. Talent won’t work; men with talent who fail are more prevalent than not. Talent won’t; unappreciated talent is practically a proverb. There are many educated derelicts in the world, thus education won’t work. Only tenacity and resolve possess omnipotence. The phrase “Press On!” has always solved and will continue to solve the world’s issues.
“Your Attitude Is Your Master.”
Though you have no control over what happens to you, you do have power over how you interpret everything that occurs. You’re always in control. You have the option to approach them with optimism.
