Life isn’t all roses and rainbows.
Relationships can sour.
Careers can end.
Health can deteriorate.
We will all face such challenges during our short time on this rock.
Some of us, more so than others.
Yet, all of us will face some adversity.
That’s totally out of our control.
From the richest to the poorest.
From the strongest to the weakest.
From one end of any measure of fortune to the other.
Every single one of us will face hardship.
That is inevitable.
Sure, we can take steps to ameliorate the hardship we face.
But we will face it.
We have no choice in the matter.
Our lives are largely out of our control.
From where and how we start.
To where and how we finish.
We might make decisions here and there.
But most of what happens is not by choice.
We’re just doing what we can in the face of what the universe hands us.
While much of life is not chosen, there is at least one thing you can choose.
You can't always choose what happens with your relationships.
You can't always choose what happens with your career.
You can't always choose what happens with your health.
You can't always choose what happens with your life.
You can always choose your attitude.
Choose to make the most of your circumstances.
Choose to not let life’s problems bring you down.
Choose to work diligently to change what you can, and to accept what you can’t.
Choose your attitude.
You can always do at least that.
You’ve got this.
