“Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it.” – Charles R. Swindoll
Do you sometimes wonder why life has dealt you such a bad hand? You see other people around you with better jobs, bigger homes, faster cars and happier relationships. Why do they get all the luck? What about me?
On the other hand, have you ever noticed that a very large proportion of the most successful people out there have had a tough start to life. They have often been very poor or from broken homes or with some other difficulties which have made life very hard for them.
How come they have become such a success then? Usually it is because they have had some dream and decided to pursue it no matter what. They have not always made a go of it from the start. They have often failed in whatever they were doing. But what have they had in common? They didn’t give up. They tried again . . . and again . . . and again . . . until something worked out.
If something happened to thwart their plans they adapted and modified what they were doing to achieve their goal slightly. Then they tried again . . . and . . .
Life will always confront you with a curved ball – or brick wall – but if you take it in your stride and react positively by modifying your behaviour to get around the obstacle – and still aim for your goal – you will eventually get there. All the stronger for the experience.
So don’t worry about what happens to you, concern yourself with how you can best react to it, and press on towards your goal.
