You control you
You always have the freedom to decide your own attitude. There is no person,
No law, no wall, no prison, no labor, no circumstance that can prevent you
From exercising control over your own mind.
Your circumstances do not control you. You control you. The world around you
Is as good, or as bad, as you decide to make it. You could be born in a
Palace, and end up making nothing of your life. Or you could grow up in a slum,
And rise to become a person of great accomplishment.
You can be patient amid frustration. You can be focused amid confusion. You
Can be disciplined amid debauchery. You can be positive in the face of
Despair, and loving in the face of hatred.
The person you are inside, does not depend on the things happening on the
Outside. A life of success comes from remaining steadfast to your own purpose
And using, rather than being consumed by, the whims of circumstance.
-- Ralph Marston
I really needed to read this this morning, so I wanted to pass it on to all of you. This is soo true, now if I could just DO IT all of the time! Good luck to all of you!
