A lot of times others decisions will affect our lives badly. At the first glance it may seem that we have no control over this. They have their agency to choose right? And we obviously cant control them. So, where does that leave us? Most people don't realize the power that we have in these situations. Our REACTION to our situation is everything. And our attitude determines our reaction. I love this quote from Dieter F. Uchtdorf, "It is your reaction to adversity, not the adversity itself, that determines how your life's story will develop."
This is SO true! We are not some ping pong ball being tossed around in someone else's game. We have control over our own lives. We decide how we respond to daily challenges. So, when life throws you a curve ball, instead of muttering under your breath about the difficulty, CHOOSE to have a positive attitude and use it to build you stronger. "The strongest steel comes from the hottest fire" -Anonymous.
Overall, realize that you can't change the other person, they must make that choice themselves, but know that you can always control how you look at your life.
With all my love,
