"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 & life & money & energy with.I can select what I can read & eat &  study.I can choose how Im going to regard unfortunate circumstances in my life-whether I will see them as curses or opportunities.I can choose my words & the tone of voice in which I speak to others. &most of all, I can choose my thoughts." -Elizabeth Gilbert- Eat,Pray,Love
