For every action, there is a reaction. Now, we can't always control the situations we find ourselves in, but we do control how we react. We have the power to change the outcome of an event by simply answering it in a tone no one would expect us to use, or by taking a road no one else would have thought to take. Have you been wronged recently? Maybe it was something very painful - maybe it was as simple as your dog keeping you up all night - but SOMETHING happened today that you had to react to. So my question is...
How did you react? Did you mimic the attitude of the action - did you go through your day bitter, upset or miffed - or did you realize there are much bigger things to occupy your time with and move on? Did you know that even your reactions can cause reactions? It might sound silly, but it is true. How you go about your day has a direct effect on those around you. If you wake up and make a point to be in a good mood, your family will sense your joy and begin to mimic it. If you walk into work with a simple 'Good morning!' and a smile, your co-workers might just get out of their 'funk'.
You have the power to create a whole new chain of reactions - based on your reactions! Take hold of it - use it!
