You Can’t Change What Happened, But…
Forces that are out of your control can take everything away from you except one thing: your freedom to decide how you react to them. You don't control what happens to you in life, you control what you feel and what you do when something happens to you.
(Viktor Frankl)

Forces beyond your control can take away everything you possess except one thing, your freedom to choose how you will respond to the situation. You cannot control what happens to you in life, but you can always control what you will feel and do about what happens to you.

We cannot control our circumstances, but we can control how we respond to them. We can control whether an experience makes us a bitter person or a better person. What matters in life is not so much what happens to us but what happens in us.

“You can’t change your past, but you can reframe it.
Find the lesson in it. Find the opportunity in it. Pull the teachable moment out of it and share with others.
You can’t choose your history, but you can choose the story you tell about it.”
