"Your will, your ability to choose resilience and alacrity over lamentation and sorrow, is your greatest strength. You may not always be able to choose what happens to you, but you always have the power choose how you respond to it. No animal, human, or god can stop you."
My Mom told me this in one sentence, and I am so glad she did:
"You choose your own Heaven or Hell on this earth."
What a great word, “alacrity”. Adding to my vocabulary garden. ?
@LaMariposa, I hear you
@LaMariposa Even here or perhaps, especially here there are trolls. A good vocabulary in any language is an achievement!
I have found adaptability to be one of my greatest assets.
