When my life being tough..!

In a life full of tough times, tough people, and tough circumstances, it is easy to fall into the mindset that no matter what you do nothing in your life will turn out as you want it to. In order to overcome this mindset one must be willing to accept that life has its ups and its downs, but for the most part life is a result of the choices and decisions a person makes on any given day. 
In order to create the best life for yourself you must be willing to work hard at life. One must realize that life is created from the decisions made and in order to make the best out of life, one must make the decisions in order to do so. One must also realize that if their life doesn't seem to be going the direction in which they want it to, that as the captain of your own ship, you are the only person that can turn it around and take it in the direction in which you truly want to go.
