Response Trumps Circumstance

The quality of your life is not determined by the quality of your circumstances. The quality of your life is determined by the quality of your response to your circumstances.

Impulse, fear, and neglect have ruined countless opportunities. Discipline, grit, and patience have transformed adversities into triumphs.

These are not questions. These are not theories. These are truths. No matter the circumstance, the quality of your response matters more.

Weak discipline wastes opportunity. Strong discipline harnesses adversity.

The further a circumstance moves toward either extreme—opportunity or adversity—the more crucial your response becomes. In moments of extreme opportunity or adversity, your response makes the defining difference in the quality of the outcomes and consequences.

Event + Response = Outcome. Do the work.
