Success Or Failure Is Not Change, But Choice

There is one thing that we all have in common. That is…at some point in our life, we will face adversity. It’s not a matter of if but…when.

I have come to realize that the difference in our success or failure is not change, but choice. When adversity strikes, it’s not what happens that will determine our destiny; it’s how we react to what happens.

I’m reminded constantly about the human spirit and the determination to succeed. We’ve all seen many news stories about the courage of some people who literally come back from the dead and go on to be successful in all areas of their lives.

Now they could have given up their will to live, but instead there was something inside which was pushing them to survive.

One person who epitomises the courage and the will to survive is Lance Armstrong. He has survived testicular cancer, and a tumour that metastasized to his brain and lungs. His cancer treatments included brain and testicular surgery and extensive chemotherapy, and his prognosis was originally poor, yet he survived and went on to win the Tour de France 7 years in a row.
