It’s not what happens to you, but how you respond that matters.

"Once I realized everything had been stripped away from me, leaving me rotting like a carcass picked dry by ugly greasy vultures, I realized I still had one thing left. My choice of how to respond to the situation. You can take my money, security, health, stability, job, love, joy, ambitions and hopefulness, but you cannot take away my spirit! You cannot take away my choice of how I react."
