Victims, Survivors & Thrivers

We don’t control the cards that are dealt to us, but we must play the hand the best way we know how. We have but one life, and we get to decide whether we fold or play.

Our choices are simple, and how we respond to our circumstances, says a lot about us as individuals. We can either build a wall of self pity, and wallow in it, or we can take a deep breath and focus on survival.  

The great ones find a way to look at the world differently, break the mold, and thrive.  Acceptance, resilience and a little bit of creative genius can help us find the promised land.
