Choices
There are two primary choices in life: to accept conditions as they exist or to accept the responsibility for changing them. (Denis Waitley, late motivational speaker)
Life can be very hard at times. When tough times come, how do we respond? Some feel victimized with a “there’s nothing I can do about it” attitude. It’s easy to give in, but it’s much better to say, “That’s tough, but it’s up to me to work this thing out and find a way to improve the situation.”
Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him (James 1:12).
