how you react impacts the final outcome

We got to test our ability to choose how we react to inconvenient circumstances this morning; I’ll share more in tomorrow’s Note because I want to see how the remainder of our travels go today. Let’s just say we SHOULD be halfway to Jamaica as I write this, but we’re still at the Baltimore airport. We get to leave in a couple of hours and will have a little less time on the beach today, but we’ll still be there for our trip and we’re all together. Our reaction impacted our outcome—things could have continued to work against us if we chose to react differently. You can’t control everything that happens to you–but you can always control how you react. Sometimes, your reaction may not be positive, and that’s ok because you can always change your reaction and find a positive perspective that will help turn things around and in your favor quicker. I’ll share the details of today’s travels, including my initial stress-filled reaction, which was a little out of character in tomorrow’s Note. JC |

I think if more people could love their Self and be happy and content (not stagnant) with who they are, then we would see a lot of the negativity in the world dissipate. The reason people don’t like or even hate others is not because of the other person, it’s because they don’t love their Selves. Because if you...
“When you can see the greatness in others, that means you can see the greatness in your Self.” -George Mumford If you’re having trouble finding confidence in your Self, try to finding confidence in others by seeing the greatness in them. By identifying the greatness in others, it might be the shift in perspective that you need to find the greatness in your Self. I’ve stated many times and still subscribe to the concept that the world is a mirror of your internal state, which would make you...
