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 |

Your Money Stories Aren’t Yours Published on December 7, 2025 When was the last time you made a financial decision from fear instead of clarity? Maybe it was saying yes to something you couldn't afford because saying no felt too vulnerable. Or avoiding your bank account for weeks because looking felt worse than not knowing. You might have white-knuckled your savings while opportunity passed you by, or spent recklessly just to silence the anxiety for a moment. We all carry stories about money,...
