ON LIFE'S TERMS

About the Book

Choices in Life. Visions float in and out of our consciousness, reminding us of past experiences and future desires. Each has its emotional value, a price tag exacted from our being. Some bring soothing thoughts to relax our tense muscles; others promote anxiety or simply unpleasantness. No matter which form it takes, we have a choice of our reaction—sad, happy, upset, angry. Frustration can give way to serenity. Find the positive, which is ever-present, and choose to see it as it is meant.
