Kindle Notes & Highlights
Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms—to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way. Each moment is a choice. No matter how frustrating or boring or constraining or painful or oppressive our experience, we can always choose how we respond. And I finally begin to understand that I, too, have a choice. This realization will change my life.
Suffering is inevitable and universal. But how we respond to suffering differs.
And to be free is to live in the present.
When you have something to prove, you aren’t free.
stress is the body’s response to any demand for change.
