How I feel

I've come to believe that the single most important thing that determines the quality of my life is how I feel right now. I can be surrounded by chaos, but if I feel okay, then I'm okay. I can't always, or even usually, choose how I feel. But I can choose what I think about, and that plays a role in how I feel. So, I seek to feel okay as often as possible by choosing, when I can, what I think about.
