Attitude

It’s Not What Happens So Much. It’s How We Handle Things and What They Mean to Us That Count.

We have little or no control over many things that happen in life, including accidents, illness, bad luck, and genetics. We may be truly powerless. But never suffer for nothing. Learn something. Although it may seem hard, especially at first, we can learn to manage our own thoughts and behavior.
