Change Quote by Nate
“Now, I am not saying that you should just stop making decisions and go whatever way the wind blows. We all have to make decisions every day. We need to make certain decisions-- that's just using our personal power to its fullest. But when you come up against an obstacle that you have no control over and that you really don't like, what do you do? Maybe it's a change at your job, a change in someone close to you, or even a change in your health. If this is a major change, and you have no control over it, then the more that you fight, the worse it will be. The only thing that you will get from batting your head against a stone wall is a headache. The chance of you breaking down the wall is nil.”
