Attitude
When I first read this statement, I wanted to throw my computer across the room.
“Attitude creates reality. How you view a situation can have an enormous impact on how you live.
“Some people see setbacks as absolute devastation, whereas others view them as opportunities. At the end of the day, the choice is really up to you.”

Some were so wonderful.
Some were so painful.
All of them made me a better and sometimes sadder person.
