Do you ever feel like the world is mostly out of your control? Like things happen and you are just in a perpetual state of reacting to this event or the next event?
OR
Do you feel like you are in complete control and you respond exactly in the right way at the right time to the right person in the right degree? (Stolen a bit from Aristotle with that question!)
Chances are there is some room for improvement. There is some room for further understanding yourself and being able to respond to the world, versus living in state of reaction.
I am not saying you will be perfect at this. Because you won't be. I am not saying I am perfect at this, because I am FAR from it. I am asking you to consider what your life would look like if in half, shoot a third! of the confrontations or adversity you encounter you were able to slow your mind down from the reactionary track we manage to keep ourselves in, and shift to being thoughtful, considerate, and to respond with a sense of grace and elegance.
I will take any and all improvements that I can, because that is the name of the game. Therein lies life's mission. To never stop moving, always keep improving.
