We are powerless over the outcome of all events involving us.
And we are powerless over the lives of our friends and family members.
We are not powerless, however, over our own attitudes, our own behavior, our own self-image, our own determination, our own commitment to life.

Power aplenty we have, but we must exercise it in order to understand its breadth.
We'll find all the day's activities, interactions, and plans decidedly more exciting when we exercise control over our responses.
We don't have to feel or respond except in the way that pleases us.

Each time we determine the proper behavior, choose an action that feels right, and take responsibility where it is clearly ours to take the benefits will startle us and bring us joy.
