When we toss a ball against a wall, the ball strikes the wall and bounces back to us. When we react without thinking to what others say to us, we are like a ball tossed against the wall. The moment, we stop reacting and take control of our emotions, the person speaking to us no longer can toss us against the wall. We’ve shown that we can choose how and when we want to respond.

Today’s Power Thought ~ You Are in Charge
We can’t accurately predict what events will come our way each day. We can accurately predict how we’ll react to them. If we are aware of the event, we can choose how we want to respond. We can respond in an appropriate and meaningful way that resolves the event in our favor. Remember, YOU are in charge of how you respond, no one else.
