Daily Gratitude: This is about courage as much as it is about every day life. We can choose to sit around and feel like (and act like) a victim wailing “what’s going to happen to me?” Or we can see that things appear to suck and then say “what action am I going to take?” Another quote I saw was by General Mattis – “Never think you are impotent. Choose how you respond.” You may not come up with an answer right away but if you put that question in your mind, you will come up with an answer- the action you’re going to take.
