Day 135 of wisdom
"You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them."
Maya Angelou
Life is not a Television set that can be controlled by a remote, neither is it a movie that is written, and directed according to script, life is an unveiling of uncertainties. Things happen to us in life that are beyond our control, most times, we don't want some of those things to happen, but somehow they happen to us, the good thing about it is, we have the power to decide how we react to it.
A popular proverb says, “When life gives you lemons, use them to make lemonade” receiving lemons may not be under your control, but it is your responsibility to make the lemonade. Whenever we are hit by unpleasant situations, we can decide not to be reduced by such situations, we determine how we react to whatever situation that occurs to us. We can choose to see the positives in a negative situation.
Steve Jobs said in one of his speeches, "Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition."
Live your life the best way you can, it is your responsibility to make the best out of whatever happens to you, it is in your hands to keep going despite setbacks, it is in your powers to stand up when you fall, it is up to you to try again after you have failed, so, no matter what happens, you have within you all you need to excel, all you need to turn things around, all you need to move up higher. Never let people's opinion of you bring you down. It is not always easy, but it is worth going for, go for it, be what you want to be.
