I can choose how I'm going to regard unfortunate circumstances in my life-whether I will see them as curses or opportunities. I can choose my words and the tone of voice in which I speak to others. And most of all, I can choose my thoughts. Elizabeth Gilbert There are many wonderful things that will never be done if you do not do them. Charles D.

Elaine Maxwell Every man has his own destiny: the only imperative is to follow it, to accept it, no matter where it leads him. Henry Miller We create our fate every day we live.
