Attitudes are stories on repeat

Are your circumstances uncontrollable, inevitable or random? Or can you sway them, influence them, or outsmart them?

Do you merely react (negatively) to what happens, or do you respond in a way that brings about the best outcome?

Are you a victim (of your situation), or a victor (by intentional design)?

Optimism is the relentless pursuit of a story that permits progress. One that embraces the obstacles in front of you, and empowers you with the ability to persevere.

Often, it's the stories we rehearse at the outset that determine the stories we end up telling ourselves looking back.
