No matter what environment we find ourselves in, there are choices. Even if the choices are limited… even if the only choice is our attitude.

I was letting this concept suffocate me.  I felt backed into a corner… I took it personally… and my attitude soured.

I have processed this whole concept again and I realized that our attitude is the most important choice we can make… and that is pretty awesome.  We are in total control… we just have to remember that.

Strip away the faded exterior,

Trust what lies underneath…

Allow it to shine… to soar.

Even amidst the tainted air,

It will flourish.
