Wisdom Wednesday | Ch. 17

We’ve all heard it said, “We can’t control what happens to us, but we can control how we react to it.” Such a simple statement, but it can give you such power over your life. We have a habit of feeling sorry for ourselves when unexpected unfortunate things happen to us. But surprise!!! Those things happen to everyone! We may not be able to stop “bad” things from happening to us, but we can decide where we go from there. We can decide to see the positive in the midst of all the negative. We can choose to find hope in the midst of feeling hopeless. We can make the decision to move forward in the midst of feeling pulled backwards. So when the wind comes at you and you feel like you’re being pushed in all different directions without any control, remember that you have the control to decide where you go from there! You get to decide where you go NEXT! :)
