A Quote I Read

 This quote by Martha Washington  caught my attention ~ “I’ve learned from experience that the greater part of our happiness or misery depends on our dispositions and not on our circumstances”. ~ When I read it, I was reminded that the way we see /react/ respond to the situations we’re faced with, impacts the way we perceive and eventually deal with/internalize them. Our state of mind can cause us to let what we’re dealing with get the best of us before we take the time to think things through and respond accordingly. As a result, we tend to make things worse than they are rather than take the time to rationalize what we’re facing. Yes, there are overwhelming situations/circumstances that we must deal with and can’t necessarily change and that is why the way we choose to deal with those situations/ circumstances is so important. Our mental and emotional state affects the way we carry ourselves and deal with others. If we’re miserable and bitter we invite misery and bitterness into our lives because that’s the attitude we’re projecting but if we find the least bit of good in what we must endure and respond accordingly, we have a greater chance of dealing with what we must deal with positively which can bring about an optimistic rather than a woe is me pessimistic attitude. Try it for yourself. I'm sure you'll agree:)!!!
