Choose a response
Life will knock you around if you let it. But you don't have
to let it.
You can't always control what's coming toward you. You can,
however, decide what to do about it.
You can decide how to respond. And the way you respond can
make all the difference in the world.
There is a positive, forward-looking way to respond to
whatever may come your way. Though the circumstances may not
be ideal, your response can be just right.
Rather than allowing yourself to be overwhelmed by life's
surprises, decide that you will take each one and find the
value in it. Instead of impulsively reacting out of habit,
resolve to act with positive purpose.
Choose a response that is based not only on the situation,
but also on who you are and where you intend to go. By doing
so, you can stay in control no matter what may happen.
