People may tell you what to do but only you can choose how you'll react and what you do.

You always get to choose what you do, even if you never get to do what you want.

Nobody can make choices for me but me.

Perception filtered by thoughts, and thoughts themselves create our world. Control your thoughts, and you control your world.

The ability to choose our own reactions is highly underrated.

From the unruly crowd of demands, we must chose those that are important to us.
