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 |

Because it’s always been so natural for me to “follow my gut”, I have always assumed that it was easy for everyone to listen to their...
“The greatest force is derived from the power of thought. The finer the element, the more powerful it is. The silent power of thought influences people even at a distance, because mind is one as well as many. The universe is a cobweb; minds are spiders.” - Swami Vivekananda Controlling your thoughts is not always easy–although it does become easier the more aware you are of what your mind is thinking. The ability to catch your thoughts and become the observer of them, as Michael Singer would...
“Listen to your heart. It knows all things, because it came from the Soul of the World, and it will one day return there.” -Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist It might come from a fictional book, but that doesn’t mean it’s not true. The lessons you are supposed to learn that will help you live your Authentic Life are all around you. See you tomorrow and keep pursuing, JC
