Unassembled

We can't control what will happen today, but we are free to choose what we do with it. Life comes "unassembled." We can make a mess of the day, or we can make something new and useful with what happens. The choice is ours.

Choose Life

Choose. It really is your choice. Once you make the right one. You see how obvious it is. (Steve Case, Everything Counts, 19 July)

[To] ... cultivate the gift of silence when speaking may aggravate the difficulty. (One Day At A Time in Al-Anon, 27 May) [Note: You may need to think about this one for a minute before it makes sense. It means that you shouldn't use silence as a weapon. Mr. Dickie.]

Whenever we are unwilling to face a negative emotion it implies that we are not in control of it, but that it is in control of us. (Selwyn Hughes, Every Day Light, Day 136)
