Just A Thought ~ SOME CHOICE

"Although you may not always be able to avoid difficult situations, you can modify the extent to which you suffer by how you choose to respond to the situation."

~ The Dalai Lama: The Essence of Happiness ~

Life is not fixed and predestined for us. Although we are conditioned to act in certain ways, and often run on automatic pilot, we still have some choice, and the more we exercise this, the more we’ll see we have. Have we not learned to fly? We could have remained earthbound forever! Likewise, suffering ~ being mental rather than physical ~ is often something we choose, strangely enough.
