"We either make ourselves miserable or we make ourselves strong. The amount of work is the same." - Carlos Castaneda
When we are faced with challenging circumstances.
With difficult times.
With trying situations.
With seemingly insurmountable obstacles.
At these moments, we always have a choice.
We can cower in the corner.
We can give up.
We can make up excuses.
We can over-think it.
We can worry ourselves into illness.
We can be paralysed by it.
Or, we can work towards a resolution.
We can strive forward and get it done.
We can find a way.
Ignoring it, complaining about it, or worrying won't make it go away.
The work still needs to be done.
Life still needs to be lived.
How we approach and our attitude towards it.
This is completely within our control.
Strive to live, live to strive.
