Choices

I heard this on the radio yesterday and have spent a lot of time thinking about it.

"Pain is inevitable; misery is optional."

It was shared by a woman, who while facing another difficult chemo treatment,  heard this saying and decided to choose joy. And it changed her life.

These words are empowering and true.They are a reminder that no matter what we are facing, we have options. And those options come in the form of how we choose to face the pain and trials of life. It's my desire to start making better choices because I'd much rather live with joy than in misery.
