About this Quote

This quote by Dag Hammarskjold speaks with the concept that we do not have control over the circumstances of our lives, but we do have control over how we react to them. We can not choose the frame of our destiny, but we can choose how we fill it. We can choose to be favorable and proactive, or we can choose to be unfavorable and passive. We can select to take responsibility for our lives and maximize our opportunities, or we can pick to be victims of our scenarios and blame others for our misfortunes. Ultimately, it is up to us to decide how we will live our lives and what we will make from them. We might not be able to select the frame of our destiny, but we can select what we put into it.
