It is not so much what happens to each of us that determines our quality of life, but rather our reaction to what happens. 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 whatwe 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. 
Neither does what we own    40   a major role in quality of life. One person with all the money and possessions in the world may have a  41  life, while another in the lowest income classes may    42  love their life. It is what we do with what we own that   43  our level of satisfaction and joy in life. It's not what you   44   or what happens to you in life that    45   , but rather what you do with it.  
Every    46   something is happening in our lives. And every moment we    47   or a judgment about what happens. By choosing to become more  48  of how we react to what happens, we can   49  towards what we really want in our lives.   50   following habitual, reactive patterns which   51  more of the same, we can recognize and  52  our old habits to move powerfully in the  53  of creating the life we really want. 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.
