how you react impacts the final outcome

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 |

There are many ways to express your Self to the world that will allow you to send messages to others the way Rubin suggests we're able to do. Being in a creative state...
Are you aligning your current Self with the future version of your Self you are pursuing? Do your habits match the habits of your future Self? Do your thoughts match the thoughts of your future Self? Do you feel as if you are already your future Self? To become the version of your Self you are pursuing, you need to align your current Self with it. You can’t be a leaner, fitter version of your Self if you aren’t eating and exercising the way your future Self does. You can’t accumulate the...
