How You Take It

I once saw a quote that said, "Life is 10% how you make it, 90% how you take it." We all have things happen to us that we don't like. And the thing is, we can't control what mostly happens. But the essential part is how we take it, it's how we define ourselves, it can pull or push away people, it can touch or hurt others, but mostly it molds us into who we are and how the outcome will be. We tend to forget this, all of us. If we just were more optimistic, we'd pull people towards us. We'd be happier people. We'd be known as someone who was positive, even when things don't go our way. We all have stress, we all have pain, we all suffer for things we don't really necessarily deserve, but if we just overlook that and realize the factors of life are the way they are, we'd be happier and more content people. It's about how you take it that creates what lies ahead for you.
