Your Choices Make the Difference

Motivational Power Quote 

Your Choices Make the Difference

“Life is 10 percent what happens to me,

and 90 percent how I react to it.”

John C. Maxwell, author, leadership expert

As I see it. . . . . . . .

Your choices make the difference

Stuff happens . . . . Some will be good things that happen that have the potential to have a positive impact on your life and career. Other things that happen to you have the potential be great when there acted on. They can create a breakthrough and accelerate you forward in achieving your goals.

And there are some things that happen that you would like to forget about, but never the less stuff happens to you.

The key becomes how do you respond to what happens to you?  

Your choices make the difference. You can take a bad situation and make the right choices to change the direction of a bad situation. Or you can make a bad choice in a great situation and lose the opportunity.

Life is a series of choices, you can’t always control what happens to you, but you can control what you do as a result of what happens. That choice makes all the difference.  

Life is a series of choices and in those choices you create your future.

When it comes right down to it stuff happens . . . . Your choices make the difference and in those choices you make your life.

How you see things comes from within and if you’re not seeing the way you want them to be the way want them to be, you have ability to change them.

You control the way you think, you make the choices on how you will act and the person through the way you look at yourself and your life.
