Decide Feel Quote by Trevor G Blake
““Most of all, she taught me that my thoughts and reactions are my own responsibility, and that only I can decide how to feel about anything. “No one can make you feel sad or angry,” she would admonish. “That is a choice you make for yourself as a reaction to the situation you perceive. You can just as easily choose to ignore or laugh about it.””
