There are moments in every man or woman’s life. There are good moments, normal moments and moments that take you to the edge. There are defining moments in every man’s life. But defining moments aren’t made, they’re chosen.

The moments will happen whether you like it or not. But you have a choice. You cannot choose what happens to you, but you can choose what you do afterwards. You can choose to make those moments defining moments. You can choose to let those moments make you or break you.

Don’t blame the moment. Don’t blame the situation. Those were coming anyway, it was only a matter of time. Leave your expectations at the door. No matter where you thought you would be by this time or that time is not who you are. However you thought a situation might go, if it didn’t go that way you can’t turn back. There is no rewind button. You have to change and adapt.

Don’t let the moment break you. Don’t let defining moments be made for you. Choose them.
