Define the Situation. Don't Let it Define You.

You are going to run into situations that feel impossible. Situations where you will put so much stress on yourself that you freeze all action. Situations where you will have to make hard decisions that might negatively affect other people. Or situations outside of your control and you can only react.

You have a choice: you can either define what the situation is and come up with a plan to control it. Or the situation will begin to define you and begin to control you.

The difference is in the way you accept the circumstances before you. You have to acknowledge that anything up until this very moment of existence is irreversible. It happened. No amount of wishing will reverse time or the previous decisions of yourself or your team.

Next you have to act. You have the opportunity to turn something that is working against you into something that makes you flourish. When you do that, you begin to define the situation because we begin to take control.

Every moment is an opportunity to define the narrative that will be your life.
