CHANGE YOURSELF, NOT THE CIRCUMSTANCE

Sometimes, change is inevitable. And even though you may not have necessarily chosen the circumstances you’re currently facing, you still have to walk your path. So when you can’t change the circumstance, focus on changing yourself.

While you can’t control the world, you can control your response to the world.
While you can’t change the situation, you can change how you adapt to the situation.
While you can’t manage what the next outcome will be, you can manage what your next step will be.

When you decide how you’ll adapt to change, even if it feels like you are being pushed into a situation you didn’t plan for, the circumstances no longer define you. Instead, you define the circumstances by how you choose to show up. Life doesn’t feel out of control when you recognize you’re in control of what you do next.
