Careful What You Choose

No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.  

-Eleanor Roosevelt

My daughter recently shared this quote with me and I thought what a powerful statement of fact.  We so often blame others for what we feel or why we react the way we do.  The truth is we are constantly choosing our own options, both positive and negative, along the way.  Look within and ask yourself, “Why did I choose that, what are my other options, and what can I do that will bring inner peace?”  You are responsible.  You may not be responsible for what has happened to you, but you are responsible for how you feel and how you choose to react to it.
