What is the normal (untrained) human reaction to life’s challenges and changes? Resignation right?
How often do you hear someone say:
- Oh well, we will just have to get used to it or
- Well life is like that at times or even
- Well at least it is not for ever.
These are all reactions of resignation. I am sure you have heard these comments or similar ones many times.
Of course YOU have never said anything like that right? I didn’t think so.
Resignation is a trap. It is a very negative reaction because when you resign yourself to a situation, you have actually given in and usually also given up.
But giving up is never the reaction of a champion!

“There are two primary choices in life: to accept conditions as they exist, or accept the responsibility for changing them.” –
A friend down in Mexico always used to say:
Champions always accept the responsibility for changing conditions. They are never content to sit down and accept them. They know that every problem has a solution and so their reaction to every situations is focus on resolutions.
So here is my question today: Are you accepting situations that are pulling you away from your dreams? Or are you looking for solutions.
Resignation or resolution – which is your choice today?
