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 |

Staying conscious of our unconscious Self is really the work that it takes to really overcome, so you can become another person.” -Dr. Joe Dispenza This week, we found out that Roman, my oldest son, for those new here, has impingements in both of his hips and a...
“You do not just wake up and become a butterfly. Growth is a process.” -Rupi Kaur This quote isn’t why I added a monarch butterfly to my arm when I completed the sleeve on my left arm–I’d never seen it before. But the meaning is why. The process of a caterpillar becoming a butterfly is purely magical. It’s also messy–go research what happens in the chrysalis before the butterfly emerges. Growth is a process and an evolution. Embrace it and enjoy it! See you tomorrow and keep pursuing, JC
I often talk to my boys about not benchmarking their actions against what others are doing. Roman's goal is to play collegiate basketball and continue his career overseas.Leo’s goal is to play collegiate soccer and also continue his career overseas.Silas is too young to have a serious goal, but he’s going to get the same advice as his older brothers when he discovers what he wants to do. My advice to Roman and Leo is that they have to be abnormal in their habits, behaviors, and mindset to...
