"Sure you're powerless, sure you're just one person, sure you can't change anything... but you don't have to be miserable about it as well"

This quote by Lydia Lunch is a pointer that although we may feel helpless and unable to make a difference, we don't need to be unpleasant about it. It is easy to become overwhelmed by the feeling of helplessness, however it is important to remember that we can still pick how we react to our circumstances. We can select to be favorable and concentrate on the important things we can manage, such as our mindset and outlook. We can also choose to act in little methods, such as offering or contributing to causes we care about. Even if we can't alter the world, we can still make a distinction in our own lives and the lives of those around us. By taking ownership of our powerlessness, we can discover ways to make a positive effect and be content with our lives.
