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 |

You can make progress and evolve without rushing. In the rush to become the future version of your Self you miss the opportunity to enjoy the present version. Enjoy the evolution of your Authentic Life–you...
I hope you had a great weekend! I apologize for getting this week's Weekly Note out on Monday instead of Sunday, but yesterday was such a beautiful day that I chose to spend it outside and take a quick trip to our local community center to work out with Roman and shoot a little hoops with Silas. I hope the delayed Weekly Note serves as a reminder to prioritize what most aligns with your Authentic Life — the Weekly Note is aligned, but it's not as important as family time in the sun or taking...
Who does your calendar show you are? Does how you spend your time align with your Authentic Life? An exercise I’m currently working on is revisiting my ideal day and my realistic ideal day–there’s a subtle difference between the two. My ideal day consists of how I’d structure my day if there were no “buts.” For example, yoga every day at 7:00, BUT that’s in the middle of the morning routine with the boys. I think it’s important to know what my ideal day would look like, even if it’s not...
