Hi my Steemit fellows!

With a new week ahead of us, let me take this moment to share one of my favorite inspirational quotes with you.

Source: brainy Quotes. The author of the quote is Charles Rozell Swindoll, an evangelical Christian pastor, author, educator, and radio preacher.

I must say I fully identify with the quote as I am strongly convinced that our lives are greatly determined by how we approach them. Sure, there are always certain circumstances that we can hardly do anything about but there is still a lot in our lives that we can change and influence by our behavior.

What do you think about this quote? Would you say the numbers are correct? What is your experience? Let me know in the comments below and have a great start to the new week!

@czechglobalhosts for me, its the other way round, situations are different these days from those days he quoted.
I believe these days with so much going around in the country, as an individual i have faced so much than i could react to.. I don't know about you or others but all i know is me, i can't say about the weight each and everyone has on their neck but from my own perspective, most situation tend to define that quote has opposite to reality.
When life hits you at times at 90 percent speed, it might be just require 10% effort or reaction to put things in place and other times it could require more.. Its just how hard or soft it hits you that determines your manner of approach.. Just saying

I hope those numbers start reversing for you at some point! Good luck to you.

I hope so too.. Thanks for sharing.. :)

Yes very true statement. Ignore the noise around you and follow the good things.

That is the way! Absolutely spon on.

Very nice quote indeed on the start of week @czechglobalhosts. Thanks a lot and keep it up!

I learned that we can do anything, but we can't do everything... at least not at the same time. So think of your priorities not in terms of what activities you do, but when you do them. Timing is everything.

I love that quote! Thank you for sharing!

Truly ,we can choose the effect of most circumstances ,challenges in our life .if i may say the number is somehow correct but to me ,i prefer taking the number as 5% and 95% because there is a saying that goes like this " everything in life has a solution " but most things seems to have no solution base on our ignorance at that moment.

I like your number:).....

You are right, i agree with the percentage in the quote, the outcome of what life throws at us depends on our actions! That is also why one of my favorite quote is ... When life throws you lemon make lemonade.
I have had a lot of bitter experiences but i didnt let that affect my future because ofcourse, tommorow is promised.

I love the lemon-lemonade quotation:).... the good thing is I love lemons too, lol....

That makes us two....smiles

I'd say it's 100% true! Life might give you lemons but you're the one who decides whether to make lemonade or not 🍋

Seems like people like the lemon/lemonade quotation a lot today:).... Oh well, why not, it is brilliant:)... Have a great day. Tomas

Haha, I didn't even see anyone write it to be honest! But it's true ;-) Thank you! Have a great day too!

This is correct to me and many people must adopt this mindset if they expect any level of success.

Jim Rohn waa said

The same wind blows on us all,the wind of disaster,wind of opportunity etc.

What happens,happens to everybody,what matters is, what we do with what happens to us.

Absolutely! It is our actions that count the most.

@czechglobalhosts very motivational. I believe that most of the time its is a matter of how we react and handle the situation. "Life is a box of chocolates,you will never know what youre gonna get."-Forrest Gump

For me the numbers are correct, it is how you see it.

For me, it's 50:50....
