The Daily Motivator for January 8 – Difficult circumstances

Difficult circumstances

Don’t let your situation determine how you are. Let yourself decide and  determine how the situation is.

Your attitude is never forced upon you by outside circumstances. On the  contrary, your attitude is based on the way you choose to respond to whatever  may come your way.

You can have a great day by choosing to be the person who will have a great  day. You can live this day based on a strong, solid inner intention that never  wavers.

What you encounter is important. Yet what’s much more important and  influential is the way you encounter it.

It’s easy to blame difficult circumstances for a difficult day. It’s far  better to live each day based not on what it brings, but rather on the positive  value you choose to give it.

Instead of complaining or bragging about the difficulties, transcend them and  live beyond them. Use the power you surely have, to make the best of even the  most difficult circumstances.
