There’s an old story about adversity about 3 pots of boiling water.
In the first pot you have a carrot, under intense pressure, it eventually becomes soft and withers and can offer no resistance.
In the second pot, you have an egg. The egg appears tough on the outside, but changes on the inside. It eventually becomes hard inside and unresponsive, accepting it’s harsh environment and becoming like it.
In the third pot, you have a coffee bean and reacts completely different. The bean under intense pressure starts to change it’s surroundings and turns the harsh boiling water into coffee, and changes everything around it into something much better.
We all have choices, we all have tough challenges that come our way and adversity will come. How we react and how we take the opportunity to change our environment is everything.
Do we accept what’s thrown at us or do we take the golden chance to change and make everything around us better?
It takes courage to change your lifestyle, to start exercising and eating right. Not everyone around you will be happy, but following through on good habits will not only make you feel better all round, it will start to inspire many of those around you to do something too.
You will never satisfy the “energy vampires” around you who want you to be weak and follow the crowd, but they will never be happy because they will never have the courage to change.
Your opportunity, your life and it all depends on your reaction to whatever in life comes your way. Making your own magic depends on YOU, use adversity as FUEL to change the way you see the world.
