About This Quote
When we look at the world around us, we can get the impression that everything happens for a reason. We might think that what happened was pre-ordained and there’s no way we can change things. As a result, we become resigned and accept whatever comes our way. However, nothing is pre-ordained and we can make a difference in our lives if we decide to change our thinking and do something about it.
