In our life, there's not a lot we have control over. Many things just happen to us -- we don't get a say. There's no way to stop things from happening or to cause them to happen.

But, as humans, we do have control over one thing: our minds. It also happens to be the most powerful thing in the world. It determines how we see things, and how we experience what happens to us. A simple event can be turned into something meaningful, something positive.

This also means that while we can't control what happens to us, we can control how we react to it. This makes all the difference. A happy mindset can create a happy world--so, how you choose to live your life, is all up to you.
