“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 |

While walking through the airport, I couldn’t help but notice the number of people struggling to make it to the gate or needing a wheelchair. I didn’t observe with judgment. Instead, I focused on the reminder to make sure I’m doing all...
Discovering your Authentic Life and beginning to live it does not mean that the growth and impact you seek will happen overnight. In fact, the timeline for the outcome you desire will probably still be a long one. “The overnight success that took ten years to build” is usually the outcome of someone discovering their Authentic Life, listening to their heart, and sticking with their efforts, despite overnight success not coming. The ten-year overnight success is only possible for someone...
