We always have a choice no matter what the situation. Life presents all of us with challenges, some of which seem impossible to cope with or overcome. That is an illusion because we always have a choice on how we are going to respond to these challenges. The choices may be limited. There are at least two choices in every situation: (1) surrender to the emotion and let it control me (fear, anxiety, worry, grief, depression, etc.) (2) choose to respond to the emotion, embracing faith, hope, and love for a peaceful. joyful and harmonious outcome. The action is to make a loving change in response to others and situations. We all have this power and ability but we must choose to move in the direction of hope. You are never out of the fight but ALWAYS ADVANCING!
