When we are no longer able to change a situation - we are challenged to change ourselves. Viktor E. Frankl

When we are no longer able to change a situation - we are challenged to change ourselves. Viktor E. Frankl

Have you ever been in a situation where you had no control? Perhaps you at one time did but things changed. Now you cannot control any part of it. What can you do? You can still change yourself and your reaction(s) to your environment.
Notice the keyword "challenged". You have a choice when challenged, to accept or decline. In life when we decline to change our attitude towards circumstances we cannot control, we are declining the challenge of living. This is the worst form of defeat. Beaten before we have even begun. Remember, despite the most trying of circumstances we always have a choice. We can choose our reaction to it. No one can take that away except us. So with that, remember how powerful over all our challenges we really are. We are mighty.

Have a great day and a better tomorrow.
