When you feel like nothing is going your way and there's
nothing you can do about it, think about this quote from the author of Eat,
Pray, Love – Elizabeth Gilbert:
There is so much about my fate that I cannot control, but other things do fall under my jurisdiction. I can decide how I spend my time, with whom I interact, with whom I share my body and life and money and energy. I can select what I read and eat and study. I can choose how I'm going to regard unfortunate circumstances in my life – whether I will see them as curses or opportunities. I can choose my words and the tone of voice in which they speak to others. And most of all, I can choose my thoughts. – Elizabeth Gilbert
