“People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are. I don’t believe in circumstances. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and, if they can’t find them, make them.”
~ George Bernard Shaw

It's so easy to fall into the "whoa-is-me" trap. Look at all this shit happening TO me. Successful people aren't those who never have hardship. Successful people see that hardship as an obstacle... something to surmount... not something that defines who they are. You circumstances will come and go... but who do you want to BE in the process? Rain or shine, shitty or amazing... who do you consciously choose to BE?

It's never your circumstances that are making you unhappy or dictating your feelings. It's your thoughts about them.
