The Life Leverage Number: 10 - 90 Rule.

 Life is 10% what happens and 90% what you choose to do about it. It is true that bad things that happen. It is true that difficult times come. It is true that some winters are bitter. It is also true that adversity strikes. All that is just 10%. It is what you do with whatever happens that makes the real difference. Whatever happens to you, you have a choice. Use that choice wisely otherwise you imprison yourself and kill your potential and initiative. Regardless of what happens never lose hope and do not let the fight in you die.  

Whatever you focus on grows in your eyes to become significant. Wherever your focus goes, there your life will go. Focus on the negative and you will enlarge your darkness. Focus on possibilities and you will start seeing them everywhere. There are too many opportunities and few takers. Your focus feeds either your faith or fears. Most situations that we face in life are neutral. It is our focus that gives them meaning and significance. Never give your problems and challenges special trophy status. You are not a victim, just a warrior posited to win. 

Whatever happens to you regardless of how bad or ugly it is, it is only the 10%. You are the one that supplies the rest of the story - the vital 90%. If you choose you can talk, think, preach, act and fellowship like a victim. Misery always has friends and disgruntled partners. If you are looking for someone to pity you, you will always have ears that surround you. Greatness does not come from pity, but a fight that starts as an attitude within you. There is something so strong inside you. It is up to you to unleash it or lie on it. Have ferocious focus and refuse to be deterred or distracted.
