Everything you have in life can be taken from you except one thing, your freedom to choose how you will respond to the situation. This is what determines the quality of the life we’ve lived – not whether we’ve been rich or poor, famous or unknown, healthy or suffering. What determines our quality of life is how we relate to these realities, what kind of meaning we assign them, what kind of attitude we cling to about them, what state of mind we allow them to trigger. Victor E. Frankl
About This Quote

Our life is a reflection of our attitude. It takes a lot of enthusiasm to come out alive from all the crazy things our planet throws at us. Things like poverty, sickness, old age and death are no fun at all. But what really matters is how we react to these things. It takes a certain amount of courage to fight back, even when it seems impossible or hopeless.
