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 |

When you know the truth about who you really are, you may indeed be...
For as long as I can remember, I’ve always been aware of my thoughts and reluctant to allow them to stay negative for long. I’m convinced that my ability to redirect my energy has kept minor inconveniences from expanding into something much bigger and more painful. Take, for example, a backed-up toilet in our basement this weekend. Sunday afternoon, I went downstairs to get a workout in, stopped in the bathroom for some strange reason (I didn’t need to use the bathroom), and noticed that the...
