If someone would have said to you 20 years ago that you would be where you are today would you have taken it hands down? If so, then there is a lot to be grateful for.
If not, then review what transpired in your journey? Did something happen that brought on circumstances beyond your control? Did you somehow lose your discipline and focus? Most importantly, can you correct course by applying the learnings going forward?
When you count your blessings (in success or failure), your blessings multiply. When you believe in your ability to bounce back bigger and stronger – no matter what – your ability to succeed broadens. When you turn your tragedy into opportunity, your opportunities grow. At the end of the day, it is about maintaining a positive attitude.
Happiness is not a set of circumstances, happiness is a set of attitudes!
