Men are disturbed not by things, but by the view which they take of them.”– Epictetus

“It’s not what happens to you, but how you react to it that matters.”- Epictetus

You can’t stop things from happening to you, but you are in charge of how you react to it. When things happen to you, don’t focus on the problems, focus on the solutions. When things happen to you, focus on what you can change. Don’t waste your time on what you cannot change.

It is not what happens that matters; it is what you do with what is left that matters. If you want to grow, you must let go of your past disappointments. Do not carry disappointments in your heart. You are better than that.

You can’t change your life by holding on to your past disappointments. If you want to experience your true life, you must do something to change your life.

No matter what, stay positive. It is important to stay positive in life. Why is that? Because if you are positive, you will see lessons instead of problems.

No matter what, you can use positive thoughts to change your life. Don’t focus on what is not working for you. Instead, use your time to give thanks to God for keeping you alive to see another day.

Focus on what you can do to change your life. If you are positive, you will success instead of sorrow. If you are positive, you will see love instead of hate. If you are positive, you will see light instead of darkness. And if you are really positive, you will see life instead of death.

Life is not easy, but if you are positive, you will see growth instead of stagnation. It is important to be a positive thinker than a negative thinker. The choice is yours.
