Focus on Choices, Not Conditions
Oh Man…today as I was reading the book, TODAY MATTERS, by John Maxwell, I came across a beautiful nugget of truth….I just have to share it with you…I hope it hits you like it did me.
– “Each choice is a crossroad, one that will either confirm or compromise their commitments. When you come to a crossroad, you can recognize it because…
* A personal decision is required.
* The decision will cost you something.
* Others will likely be influenced by it.”
“Your choices are the only thing you truly control. You cannot control your circumstances, nor can you control others. By focusing on your choices, and then making them with integrity, you control your commitment. And that is what often separates success from failure.”
WOW…is that amazing or what??? Here’s what I know…when we rest in HIS hands HE will guide our steps…have complete faith in HIM and it will always work out.
I just thought I should share… ~Melissa
