Self-Control

The secret of surviving tough times is your response to them – Dr Chris Kpakpovwe

The problems of life is not the problem itself. The problem is our reaction to the problem. We can allow problems to grind us to self pity or depression or it can become our stepping stone to progress/creative new thinking.

When you are in the middle of a trial, you don’t want emotions to dictate your actions, for the same reason a truck driver on the highway doesn’t want his cargo to dictate the ride. When that cargo starts shifting and sliding back and forth, the driver soon has a truck that is out of control: swerving back and forth, but the driver refuses to be controlled by the cargo- Tony Evans.

Refuse to get stuck in the negatives of life. Good morning from Africa.
