"There are two primary choices in life: to accept conditions as they exist, or accept the responsibility for changing them." Denis Waitley
Wow, I love this quotation. I often catch myself whining in my head or feeling overwhelmed and sorry for myself based on surrounding conditions. If I could only learn to see each situation as an opportunity to stand up, take control, assess the situation and determine what I can do in the one situation I'm facing at that time, to create the environment/conditions more amenable to my desires or desired outcome. Changing how I think, and how I respond to things takes effort, daily effort and the things that I don't happen address regularly are the ones that throw a wrench in assuring a more positive response. Therefore, developing a pattern by which I "think" my through situations will aid me when circumstances present themselves unexpectedly.
This quotation will be a part of my pattern, when I find myself frustrated, feeling sorry for myself or whatever, I'll ask, do I choose to accept these conditions as they exist or take responsibility and change them? Good first step: You agree? Wish me luck.
Anything you'd like to share?
Love you all,
Jacky
