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 |

The song “Now or Never” is off of Kendrick’s Good Kid Mad City album and is...
“Rise up this morning, smiled with the rising sunThree little birds pitch by my doorstepSinging sweet songs of melodies pure and trueSaying, "This is my message to you-ou-ou" Singing, "Don't worry about a thing'Cause every little thing gonna be alright"Singing, "Don't worry about a thing" (Don't worry)"'Cause every little thing gonna be alright.” - Bob Marley On our drive to the resort we were staying at in Jamaica, our driver shared how most Jamaicans view Bob Marley not as a national...
Two words. (I so badly wanted to turn the beginning of this into a new verse of Kanye West's song Two Words, but those creative juices weren't flowing tonight.) Patience. Epitome. These two words will be my guides for ‘25. I will have goals and other things motivating me throughout the year, but these two words cover any and everything I might decide to pursue this upcoming year. I didn’t plan on having two words for the new year–I originally was only going with patience, but over the last...
