The Choice

Our life, our choice.

We can’t choose our parents, but we can pick the path to follow.

We can’t choose our countenance, but we can love ourselves.

We can’t choose our family, but we can lean into patience and empathy.

We can’t choose how others view us, but we can work on our character.

We can’t choose conditions out of our control, but we can certainly choose how we react to them.

We can’t choose our boss, but we show up early and stay late, while treating others with respect.

We can’t choose every situation in life, but we have the power to choose how we show up daily.
