“We either make ourselves miserable or we make ourselves strong. The amount of work is the same.” ~Carlos Castenada

The amount of work is the same, and it involves all those little choices we make about how we perceive things, the stories we tell ourselves, the thoughts we choose to entertain, and the ways we decide to respond. Those little choices add up to making ourselves either miserable or strong. Which one are you choosing?
