"We cannot change our past. We can not change the fact that people act in a certain way. We can not change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude"

This quote by Charles R. Swindoll is a pointer that we can not manage the past, the actions of others, or the future. We can not change what has currently taken place, and we can not manage how individuals act. We can not anticipate the future, and we can not avoid the unavoidable. The only thing we can control is our mindset. We can pick to have a favorable mindset and make the best of the circumstance. We can pick to be optimistic and look for the excellent in every situation. We can choose to be resilient and not let our circumstances define us. We can select to be enthusiastic and believe that things will get better. Our mindset is the one thing we can manage, and it can make all the difference in how we see and experience life.
