Hi my Steemit fellows!
With a new week ahead of us, let me take this moment to share one of my favorite inspirational quotes with you.
Source: brainy Quotes. The author of the quote is Charles Rozell Swindoll, an evangelical Christian pastor, author, educator, and radio preacher.
I must say I fully identify with the quote as I am strongly convinced that our lives are greatly determined by how we approach them. Sure, there are always certain circumstances that we can hardly do anything about but there is still a lot in our lives that we can change and influence by our behavior.
What do you think about this quote? Would you say the numbers are correct? What is your experience? Let me know in the comments below and have a great start to the new week!
Please feel free to check out some of my other recent posts.

@czechglobalhosts for me, its the other way round, situations are different these days from those days he quoted.
I believe these days with so much going around in the country, as an individual i have faced so much than i could react to.. I don't know about you or others but all i know is me, i can't say about the weight each and everyone has on their neck but from my own perspective, most situation tend to define that quote has opposite to reality.
When life hits you at times at 90 percent speed, it might be just require 10% effort or reaction to put things in place and other times it could require more.. Its just how hard or soft it hits you that determines your manner of approach.. Just saying
I hope those numbers start reversing for you at some point! Good luck to you.
I hope so too.. Thanks for sharing.. :)
Yes very true statement. Ignore the noise around you and follow the good things.
That is the way! Absolutely spon on.
You are right, i agree with the percentage in the quote, the outcome of what life throws at us depends on our actions! That is also why one of my favorite quote is ... When life throws you lemon make lemonade.
I have had a lot of bitter experiences but i didnt let that affect my future because ofcourse, tommorow is promised.
I love the lemon-lemonade quotation:).... the good thing is I love lemons too, lol....
That makes us two....smiles
Truly ,we can choose the effect of most circumstances ,challenges in our life .if i may say the number is somehow correct but to me ,i prefer taking the number as 5% and 95% because there is a saying that goes like this " everything in life has a solution " but most things seems to have no solution base on our ignorance at that moment.
I like your number:).....
Very nice quote indeed on the start of week @czechglobalhosts. Thanks a lot and keep it up!
I learned that we can do anything, but we can't do everything... at least not at the same time. So think of your priorities not in terms of what activities you do, but when you do them. Timing is everything.

I love that quote! Thank you for sharing!
I'd say it's 100% true! Life might give you lemons but you're the one who decides whether to make lemonade or not 🍋
Seems like people like the lemon/lemonade quotation a lot today:).... Oh well, why not, it is brilliant:)... Have a great day. Tomas
Haha, I didn't even see anyone write it to be honest! But it's true ;-) Thank you! Have a great day too!
This is correct to me and many people must adopt this mindset if they expect any level of success.
Jim Rohn waa said
What happens,happens to everybody,what matters is, what we do with what happens to us.
Absolutely! It is our actions that count the most.
@czechglobalhosts very motivational. I believe that most of the time its is a matter of how we react and handle the situation. "Life is a box of chocolates,you will never know what youre gonna get."-Forrest Gump
For me the numbers are correct, it is how you see it.
For me, it's 50:50....
Thanks for this great post..
great said < really appreciate <3
keep sharing <3

Appriciate that and upvote done
Statistics is not a holistic representation of the reality of a situation. Numbers shift, especially when you start getting individualistic and real about issues.
I do not totally disagree with those numbers but I think it's not same for everyone.
Yes you are right..The words in post is so motivating and inspiration to me..Thanks for sharing such amazing post with such amazing words...@czechglobalhosts
yeh that's true.
I totally agree with this quote... Our life solely depends on how we react to whatever we come across @czechglobalhosts
Nice work!!!
life is always happy
Good one
For me it's 50 whats happens to me 25 what is a my reaction and 25 i think about waht i do (solution)::))
This pretty much nails what life is. How you choose to react in situations determines your quality of life you will live.
your choice is great that is pick off in your post... i am so impressed to see your post... i waiting for your next post....
In a philosophical sense I do agree, this is really a good way of thinking - You are the creator of your own happiness.
It's definitely agreeable. The author of "Attitude is Everything" explained why in his book.
I think it's 99% how you react on things around you.
yes definitely. I truly believe that there is no human that is born poor or rich. if you where born poor, it's not your fault, but if you die poor, then it will be the time that it's your own fault. It depends on how you will manipulate your entire life and we should finish strong as always.
Upvoted! Great post, thank you for your work!
I agree with this quote. It all depends on your mindset and how you choose to react and feel in the moment. Stay positive!
LIFE IS CHOICES WHEN GIVEN WITH LOTS OF OPTIONS, ONLY ONE OF WHICH MUST BE THE ANSWER.
THIS QUOTE FROM ME @mainar to @czechglobalhosts
I certainly agree with Charles Rozell Swindoll . My achievements in life today is base on How I was able to handle different circumstances that crossed my path. Thanks for sharing this post.
AMEN to that
I told you once some words like that but you have not given me time :)
Most of the time yes. And that 10% usually caught me by surprise. Its is the crucial 10% of our life it seems.
Greet saying....

STOPThis is so true.... The way you react to your problem decides how it's going to end
I am 100% agree with it and i already made post for this quote with great example as here we have one great saint who faced this problem and wonderful reply. We always think again and again what other said by just once but we make it more big and complicated by ourself thinking. Have a great day.
So true. How we react to what life brings us is key, having the right perspective is important....viewing things differently helps in turning challenges into opportunities
Really true, we have to understand one thing that, whatever situation we are facing is an reaction of our thoughts, for example, if you have negative thoughts all the time then your actions will be negative, so it's really important to understand that, to be happy we have to feed our mind with happy and positive thoughts. So at last i want to say that, your thoughts are your real driver so feed your mind with good thoughts. Thanks for sharing.
Have a great day and stay blessed.
@czechglobalhosts I agree, this life should not be feared and despair but keep trying to achieve a better future.
Very true. This is also one of my favorite quotes. We can't control everything that is happening around us but we can manage how we react to it. The blame game and pointing fingers don't resolve anything. As soon as we can take responsibility for our lives and actions. we become free and in control. If we always think that something or someone is responsible for what is happening to us. we are giving this persona or a situation power over our feelings. Then we become desperate since we feel out of control. Great reminder for the beginning of this week. Thanks
nice post
