Marbles

I came across a quote last week from the British novelist Susan Fletcher, author of The Silver Dark Sea: “I believe the world is as we choose to view it. Simple as that. Our happiness is, in the end, up to us and no one else.” It reminded me of something President Thomas S. Monson said, “So much in life depends on our attitude. The way we choose to see things and respond to others makes all the difference. To do the best we can and then to choose to be happy about our circumstances, whatever they may be, can bring peace and contentment. We can't direct the wind, but we can adjust the sails. For maximum happiness, peace, and contentment, may we choose a positive attitude.”
