Recently, I spoke to a couple of friends who were going through a tough phase. While talking to them, there was this one constant thought I had.
No matter what is going on. Even if you’ve hit rock bottom. As long as you have this one thought, everything is okay. What’s that one thing?
Your will to keep going.
As long as you have the will to continue, everything is doable. Even in my own life, I’ve always derived confidence from this one thought. No matter how bad I am feeling or how lost I am feeling, I want to always ask myself this question. Are you ready for more?
That’s the only one thing that’s needed.
One thing for the rest of your life. Keep fighting. Always.
“The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failure, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company… a church… a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past… we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it. And so it is with you… we are in charge of our Attitudes.”
