Renee CarlinoWe can't always control our circumstances, who are parents are, where we live, or how much money we make, but in those rare moments when we can shape our fate, when we do have the power to make our own happiness, we can't be too scared to do it.
About This Quote
The real power of our lives is in the choices we make. The only way for us to make a difference in life is to choose a path that is better. We can't always control our circumstances, but we can control how we react to them. Sometimes what we do when bad things happen isn't much different from what we do when good things happen.
When bad things happen, we let it ruin our day, but when good things happen, we celebrate them and take advantage of them. In other words, when something negative happens, don't let it stop you from being happy, or worse yet, stop you from being happy at all. Instead, choose to be happy even when there's a negative situation going on around you.
The best way to decide how you want to live your life is by determining your happiness.
