You live always in a powerful space. It is the space between what happens and what you do about it.

It is the space between how you feel and the way you act. In that space, your choice makes all the difference in the world.

You have no real power over what others think or say or feel or do. You have full power over what their words and actions and ideas mean to you.

If you depend on some particular outcome for your happiness and satisfaction, you’re sure to be disappointed. Yet in the space where your choice resides, the highest level of fulfillment is always available to you.

Whatever happens is merely whatever happens. What you make of it within yourself is what makes all the difference.

Activate and utilize that power, every time. Your choice is everything, so choose well.
