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 |

Give your Self permission to dream. Dreaming doesn’t mean you have to pursue, but I’m willing to bet the more you dream, the more curious...
Yesterday, I saw a comment somewhere that people are more polite and thankful to their GPTs than they are to other people. I didn’t fact-check it, but I can see there being some truth to this. Even if it’s not true, the fact that it is believable is sad. This morning, I finally listened to a voice note from a college friend I had been sitting on until I could be present and not distracted. He shared with me that he was starting a practice of sending someone a voice note each week to let them...
I’ve never been to an AA meeting, but on various podcasts, I’ve heard plenty about the 12 Steps that have been so successful in helping people struggling with addiction find their way to sobriety. I’ve noticed how many of these steps are applicable outside of fighting an addiction. For the last week, anytime I’ve been in the car with Roman, I’ve had George Mumford’s Unlocked playing on Spotify; I’m determined to help the boys master their minds and begin to see the benefits of meditation.
