how you react impacts the final outcome

“It’s not what happens to you, but how you react to it that matters.”
- Epictetus
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 |

Discontentment, frustration, unhappiness, regret,...
I hope you had a great weekend! We had a busy weekend of family sports and NCAA March Madness, so apologies for sending this out Monday morning. Before we get to this week's Note, I wanted to share a post I discovered on Instagram and read on Substack. It's called "I Quit" and I see it as a sign that more people are shifting towards living their Authentic Lives. "I Quit" by Hezekiah I also thought I'd share this post from my friend Tom Morgan about the importance of Community and how he sees...
“The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are.” - Carl Jung If I were to remix this, it would say, “The privilege of a lifetime is to become your Authentic Self.” 😀 And if I were to take it to the next level, it would say, “The responsibility of a lifetime is to become your Authentic Self.” 🦅 See you tomorrow and keep pursuing, JC
