“We can make ourselves miserable or we can make
ourselves strong. The amount of work is the same.”
Carlos Castaneda
Let us face it, we only have so much energy to go around, and there
are only so many hours in the day. Why waste precious resources
sulking or being miserable? Time will pass no matter what we do, so
use the time to make the most out of the situation and come out the
better for it, no matter how small the improvement. There is no sense
going backwards or failing to make progress. It is like deciding to veer
off the racecourse in a marathon and go down a different trail. All you
have done is expend energy, gotten into a worse mental frame of mind,
moved farther away from your finish line goal, taken you longer and
made you grumpy. Take what life gives us, what happens, and use it
as a springboard to get stronger. To get better. To be better. To learn.
To not repeat the same mistakes. It is our mind. We choose. It is our
point of view. We get to decide.
