Though we may have no     36   in unexpected events that happen to us, we most certainly have choice in   37   we interpret what happens, and in what we choose to do about it. These choices make all the   38  in how we experience our world and very much determine our    39    of life.

Yet to do this, we must first find the    54 to look at some of the disempowering, often unconscious   55  which get in the way and don't serve to increase our quality of life. But by continually reminding ourselves of our intention to be creators, we can transform our life.
