Do You Get On?

The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and, if they can’t find them, make them. – George Bernard Shaw

Ask yourself about your “circumstances:”

Are they what you want?

(If yes, carry on . . . .)

If “No.” then get to making ’em.
