IT�S UP TO YOU

It�s not what happens to you that can make your life or break it.
The thing that really matters is the way you choose to take it.

You can have a "pity party" and say life�s not worth the living,
Or find some place that needs the love and help you could be giving.

You can crawl into a shell, and reach a state of deep depression,
Or count the many blessings you still have in your possession.

You can say that life�s not fair, and that you simply cannot bear it,
Or seek what�s good in life, and find a way that you can share it.

No, it�s not what happens that decides the winning or the losing.
It�s how you take it -- and you�ll find it�s strictly your own choosing.
