“If you so choose, the challenges can make
you stronger. If you so choose, the disappointments can make you more
determined.

If you so choose, every mistake can lead to greater understanding and
effectiveness. If you so choose, every frustration can help you to be
more patient and more persistent.

If you so choose, even the unexpected setbacks can bring new and
positive possibilities. If you so choose, you can find value and
fulfillment in every circumstance.

If you so choose, each day can be filled with even more joy than the
one before. If you so choose, even the most seemingly random events can work in your favor.

If you so choose, you can remain steadily focused no matter what
distractions may attempt to throw you off course. If you so
choose, you can look back on this day with no regrets.

Life is filled with an endless variety of circumstances, opportunities and
possibilities. If you so choose, you can make the most of it all in this
and every moment.”

— Ralph Marston, in a collection of inspiring morning thoughts.
