Man (or Woman) is able to snatch everything except one thing, the last of human freedoms: the choice of an attitude under any given set of circumstances to determine his (or her) own path.” –Viktor E. Frankl

Viktor Frankl in his strength in wisdom relates a powerful idea–choose our attitude. We set the tone for our life; not circumstances or people. If a loved one or someone you know has made a choice you differ with–it is a ripe opportunity to choose your attitude and reestablish the tone for your life.

It is almost impossible to know all the reasons a person has for making the choices and decisions they make. When we choose to take the high view on things and look upon the situation in the untainted atmosphere of spiritual light and divine clarity, we can only help our dear one and the circumstances surrounding the decisions of another. We actually raise up the entire situation of our friends and dear ones when we are in a heightened frame of mind–in both our thinking, feeling, and doing.

Today we praise the innate ability to choose our attitude at any given moment and in any circumstance. We have dominion and freedom to set the tone and altitude for our consciousness and life.

Furthermore, we grace the people in our lives when we know–sometimes the only control a person has is to make the decision and choice they have made. It is there’s to make. After all, a human need is to realize and exercise their own power in the decisions and in the unique situations they face.

I am liberated and trust others today by agreeing with their innate power of choice and decision making. I see loved ones, friends, and people living from an inherent wisdom, producing good outcomes in their circumstances and entire life. And so it is.
