This is mostly in regards to Steemit, but this is not suggesting circumstances don't come about that are out of our control. It's about the mindset and approach to life that says, "I choose to believe I have control over my outcomes, and I can handle whatever comes my way." That mindset is key to being able to make a negative into a positive, or being able to dodge unsavory circumstances. And only years of living in BOTH of these mindsets at varying times taught me that.
