Motivational Quote - The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and, if they can’t find them, make them.
SparkPeople Translation
Take a moment to look at the circumstances of your world. Is it what you want to see? What could you do differently to take one step closer to your ideal vision? We’re all dealt different hands in life. That’s how things are. To change things, you have to first accept that fact, then figure out where to go from here. We should all be able to count on each other for help, but in the end, we can’t expect anyone to change our lives except ourselves. Nor should we want it that way. It’s easy to feel powerless and give up in the face of hardships. Complaining and blaming do nothing except prevent action. Without positive action, you’re giving up your power and asking for more of the same – a world you did not create. Where you start may not be your fault, but the course you run is still your choosing.
