If you ever start to think about blaming your circumstances for not achieving what you want, remember that ‘Ships don’t sink because of the water around them; ships sink because of the water that gets in them. Don’t let what’s happening around you get inside you and weigh you down.’ (U) In other words, don’t let your circumstances control you. ‘You must take personal responsibility. You cannot change the circumstances, the seasons or the wind, but you can change yourself. That is something you have charge of.’ (J.Rohn) It’s how we respond to our circumstances that makes all the difference to the outcome.
