"We cannot choose our external circumstances, but we can always choose how we respond to them."
~ Epictetus from The Enchiridion
That's a (very) powerful statement. (From a former Roman slave, btw.)
ALL the great teachers remind us that the only thing we can ever truly control is our response to a situation.
May we all choose those responses wisely.

There is a difference between interest and commitment. When you're interested in something, you do it only when it's convenient. When you're committed to something, you accept no excuses, only results.
