You can! Nothing is impossible!
Chapter 23: Situation
Much of a person’s happiness
or unhappiness depends on their character,
not on their circumstances. — Martha Washington
************************
One way to practice assertiveness is
to start today with whatever problem you face.
Let’s decide! Having a decision,
no matter what,
is better than making no decision at all. — Napoleon Hill
************************
Focus all your energy on doing well one thing at a time.
If you have too many things to do at once,
it’s hard for you to get anything done.
Focus on a certain area,
and try to do it better than others,
and you will be rewarded. — Don M. Green

Circumstances are man-made,
and it always has a great power,
capable of profoundly affecting human life.
But with his determination,
people can always rise above the situation
and achieve the desired success.
Circumstances are the slaves of man.
Form yourself the habit of being assertive
by making the most rational decisions.
You’ll probably make mistakes with these decisions,
but it’s better than not making any decisions anyway.
If your current situation is holding you back,
find a way out of it and find a new direction.
People who have the habit of working
to the end create their own circumstances.
The big names in the world are all people
who know how to make their circumstances so attractive,
that they can easily attract people around to follow their orbit.
British pastor John Bunyan wrote his immortal
work Pilgrim’s Progress (“Journey into Spirituality”) in prison.
The great poet John Milton wrote the epic Paradise Lost
(“Paradise Lost”) in blindness and misery.
The prophet John Brown smiled
as he stepped onto the scaffold
to become a pave of the way to freedom.
And Hellen Keller,
a blind woman who is both deaf and mute,
has become a symbol of the sun
and a source of light for life…
Those are the people who know
how to overcome their circumstances
to affirm their talents and bravery.
To them, adversity is nothing
but a challenge for them to forge themselves.
They are shining examples of their ability
to master their circumstances!
If you are a boss,
make your employees happy and love their job.
If you are an employee,
fill your mind with positive,
optimistic thoughts.
Your situation or environment is your choice.
Add to your treasure your own stature.
You can always be a successful person
under any circumstances.
And I believe,
your efforts will always be rewarded.
“One of the major differences
between successful and unsuccessful people is
that the former look for problems to resolve,
whereas the latter make every attempt to avoid them.” – Grant Cardone
