You cannot control the world or the obstacles that it places in your path. All you can do is determine how you react to the challenges. You can rise to the occasion and overcome it. You can see the roadblock as an opportunity for a detour or change of course. Or you give up. But when you let the world win, remember you are still the one making a choice. It was within your control, and you chose to give away your control over your reaction and the outcome.
