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 |

“No one in the world is going to beat you at being you.” - Naval I would like to submit one edit to this Naval quote: “No one in the world is going to beat you at being the Authentic You.” Plenty of people will beat you at being the inauthentic you. As long as you're trying to be someone you’re not, others will stand out because they are being their Authentic Self—someone who cannot be beaten. Be your Authentic Self and become the best in the world—at being YOU. See you tomorrow and keep...
I met with one of my favorite clients today, and toward the end of our meeting, I shared that I had reflected on the journey we had been on together over the years, and it made me happy. I encouraged her to reflect on all the changes she navigated, the goals she has achieved, and how much happier she is now despite the uncertainty, unknowns, and fear she had to overcome along the way. Everything worked out, right when it was supposed to. It may not have always seemed like it in the moment,...
