Don’t let your circumstances define you!

adoptee circumstances

Are you a glass half full or glass half empty kind of person? The answer to that question determines how you let circumstances define you. A positive attitude will get you anywhere and everywhere you want to go in life! You’ve heard of visualizing your wants and needs and then they come to fruition? Well bringing positivity to every aspect of your life will do the same thing! Who isn’t drawn to people who are always smiling and laughing? At work, if you’re always presenting a positive attitude and smile people will begin to ask for you and want to work with you. That could lead to promotions and respect in your organization. At home, either with your family or in a relationship, bringing a positive attitude to a tenuous situation can resolve it peacefully. It’s no different with how you handle the circumstances you are given that are out of your control. I was adopted. It is a circumstance in my life I can’t change but I found the positive in that situation and have lived my life not as a victim but as someone that was given the gift of life. All birth mothers have a choice when they find themselves pregnant. One of those choices is abortion. But we are all here because our birth mothers chose life for us. Not only that, they chose an alternate life that has the possibility of being great. No matter what situation we’re given (or the cards we’re dealt) it is up to us what we do with it. We can make it positive or play the victim. Playing a victim will guarantee you are a victim your whole life. Be determined NOT to be the victim and you will enjoy a fruitful life.
