Healthy Inspiration from SparkPeople

Motivational Quote - The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and, if they can’t find them, make them.

SparkPeople's Comments

Take a moment to look at the circumstances of your world. Is it what you want to see? What could you do differently to take one step closer to your ideal vision? We’re all dealt different hands in life. That’s how things are. To change things, you have to first accept that fact, then figure out where to go from here. We should all be able to count on each other for help, but in the end, we can’t expect anyone to change our lives except ourselves. Nor should we want it that way. It’s easy to feel powerless and give up in the face of hardships. Complaining and blaming do nothing except prevent action. Without positive action, you’re giving up your power and asking for more of the same – a world you did not create. Where you start may not be your fault, but the course you run is still your choosing.

Ever since I learned to look for opportunities, I'm amazed at how many I find!

This is so key to manifesting what we want.. sometimes though it takes a simpler quote like this which also though makes us connect with our inner resources and say ...hey yeah I can do that! Plus when I read it as I am sure many of you also did, I immediately thought of one particular person in my group of close friends who is always like that even when he feels like he is sometimes swimming against the tide, he is always out there creating his greatest wish to be succcessful in his career. Way to go for us all don't you think?!! :-)

I think we all know we can't control circumstances, lives, etc. It's the choices we make that are in our control, let us pray that they are always good choices.

I love this quote. It's a quote that motivates me and gives me the impetus to take charge of my. The quote shows that you are in control of your life, make it what you want. Create it, the power is yours.

This is so true,but sometimes taking the first step can be very hard. I face this everyday. My mindset is getting better but still it is very hard to get out of that way of thinking. I always think I can control things even though I know I can't. It just gets me frustrated when I fail at it. Thanks for the support. I truly need it!!!
