do you know that you have a choice
about what resides between your ears
in that soft, incredible brain? you, not
anybody else, determine if you experience
joy or angst, peace or unrest, fear or faith.
it is your superpower
to wisely wield each day

so, use it well, nurture what you allow to
reside there for long or short seasons, for
it will form who you are and what you do,
how you treat others and what you value,
if you thrive or just survive.

you are not pliant to forces external.
the choice is yours and yours alone.
so do this please–intentionally choose.
