Can’t choose what people say.
But we can react to it differently.
For the conversation isn’t in how it begins.
It’s in how it develops.
Can’t choose what we see.
But we can look at it differently.
For an incidence isn’t in what happens.
It’s in what we make of it.
Can’t choose what they write, show, tell.
But we can select what to read, watch, listen.
For knowing isn’t in what reaches us.
It’s in what we reach out to.
Can’t choose a different past.
But we can choose a different future.
Fir future isn’t decided by our past.
It’s decided by our present.
If partner is choosing not to be there;
If boss is choosing not to be a leader;
If people are choosing not to be humans;
Then yes. We can choose differently.
