Week #1 Journal Prompt
This quote didn't really grab me at first. However, the more I thought about it the more I liked it. I like the idea of having power. I haven't decided on a journal for this year yet so I did this on a separate page. Possibly I will do all the journal prompts this way and then bind them together at the end of the year. The mandala was my own design that I colored. I used Pan Pastels to color the rest of the page.
The quote is very true. Many events in life we can do nothing to control, but we can control how we react to these events. Take a natural disaster, like an earth quake. We can't stop it, we can't undo it, we can prepare for it (helmets and supplies, shelters and evacuation routes,...) we can also control how we react: 'This is the end, all my belongings are gone, I've lost my pet...' or 'I'm so lucky to be alive, I have a chance to start all over again - what a challenge'.
