“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 |

Work-life balance is often unjustifiably attacked. The hustle culture crowd wants you to believe that you can’t have success professionally while having the personal life you want. They want you to believe it’s either/or and that you have to make a choice. This is false. The idea that balance has to be 50-50 is inaccurate; the greatest flaw in the work-life balance argument is the use of the word “balance.” When I think of balance, I immediately picture a balancing scale with pebbles on each...
