Quote #108: Ashley Ghose

Hi, I'm Dr. Ashley Ghose, a Transformational Life Coach and Lead Assistant for the Midland Area Wellbeing Coalition. A quote that inspires me is, "Life is 10% what happens to us and 90% how we react to it," said Charles R. Swindoll.

I love this quote because it’s such a great reminder that we have so much power over how we experience life. As a working mom, I’ve had my fair share of chaos and stress, but I always come back to this quote—it helps me remember that my mindset and how I respond to things can make all the difference.

For me, it’s a reminder to focus on what I can control—my attitude and my actions—rather than getting stuck on things I can’t change. It’s a little nudge to stay calm, stay adaptable, and not let the tough stuff take over.

So, how might you shift your perspective today to create a little more calm or positivity in your life?
