Yay, quote of the day is back! I haven't shared as many quotes as I had anticipated because frankly I haven't really came across many that really touched my heart. This one, though, really hit home as soon as I read it.
"You alone get to choose what matters
and what does not. The meaning of everything in your life has precisely
the meaning you give it."
Yes, it's so true! When we were little, our parents taught us how to think; as we grew up, teachers and friends further shaped the way we think. However, ultimately we are the ones responsible for our own lives; we alone make the choices that will affect our own happiness. Other people's values and opinions can only be used as a reference because they are not living our lives! So whether it's a personal goal or love interest or political stance or even being wronged by someone... Don't assign it a value based on someone else's priorities. Base it on your own!
Afterthought: There's power in choosing what matters and what does not. We can choose to not be reduced by the negative things in our lives!
