If you don’t like something, change it. If you can’t change it, change your attitude.
Maya Angelou, Ph.D., (1928-2014) American poet,
memoirist, civil rights activist and author of
I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings
“This is one of my favorite quotes. I was introduced to her books a little bit later in life than I would have liked. But her quote inspires me because when I was raised, I wasn’t really taught that the one thing we have control over is ourselves and the way that we respond to things. We don’t have to be upset if somebody says something to us or if something happens to us. We can change our own approach to help us get through.”
