"I think if you try hard enough and make the best of a situation, the situation won't get the best of you." -MacGyver. You can tell from my signature that this is one of my favorite quotes from Mac. I just think it's quite true, and we should use it whenever possible.
Sometimes I forget the quote itself, but I think for the most part I have got this philosophy incorporated into my life. I guess enough so that I don't even make it a conscious effort anymore.
I was just posting in another thread and noticed the quote at the bottom of my post.
It really rings true right now as I am at home on furlough due to the govt shutdown. I had hoped they would get their act together and not shutdown and furlough us, but that was not the case. I'm on day 3 without pay now, but I'm trying to make the best of it. I didn't think about Mac's quote so much as I guess I've just got it ingrained somewhat now. For the past three days I've not been sitting at home. I've been taking care of errands and stuff that needs to be done anyway. I'm hoping that this furlough doesn't last long, but the best I can do for the situation is to get stuff done that I normally have to "fit in" to my schedule.
Trying to make the best of a situation, so it doesn't get the best of me.
