It is not so much what happens to each of us that determines our quality of life, but rather our reaction to what happens. Though we may have no 36 in unexpected events that happen to us, we most certainly have choice in 37 we interpret what happens, and in whatwe choose to do about it. These choices make all the 38 in how we experience our world and very much determine our 39 of life.

Yet to do this, we must first find the 54 to look at some of the disempowering, often unconscious 55 which get in the way and don't serve to increase our quality of life. But by continually reminding ourselves of our intention to be creators, we can transform our life.
