Even though
Even though you have every right to be angry, you have every 
reason to let it go. For when you let go of your anger, you 
make more room for joy. 
Even though your first impulse may be to retaliate, you're 
likely to be better off when you reconcile and forgive. 
After all, when you've been hurt, it makes no sense for you 
to prolong the hurt with your own attitude and actions. 
Even though the world is often cruel and unfair, it does not 
have to get you down. The more fully and willingly you 
accept what is, the more power you have to improve upon 
it. 
Even though many things will come along that could be 
frustrating and annoying, you can always choose to respond 
with patience and with grace. By so doing, you'll be 
building strength as well as focusing your energy in a more 
positive and productive direction. 
Even though events may not go your way, you can continue to 
move in the direction of your own choosing. Success depends 
very little on being given what you want, and much more on 
becoming the best you can be. 
Even though life has its setbacks, disappointments and 
tragedies, they pale in comparison to the new and positive 
possibilities that increase with each passing moment. Choose 
to fully live the immeasurable blessing that is your life, 
and every day will move you forward.
