Have you decided that no matter the circumstances you will not be affected?

Doesn’t this seem to be the right thing to do?

Now let me begin by stating; I believe that all of us have emotions for a good reason. Secondly, we are human beings and we do have feelings.

What I am talking about now is the space between the event happening and our reaction – our immediate thought about why this event happened to us.

Let me expand. With every event we decide whether the event was good or bad for us. If the event was wonderful of course we would consider it to be good for us. It is in the challenging events that we have difficulty. We have the choice to decide whether it was good or bad. Yes, there is a choice. I’ve learned that some of the most challenging events in my life were some of the best things that happened. I say that because many of those challenging events changed my life. They changed my life because I asked this question; “How can I use this?” By asking this question it focused me on finding positive solutions.

What question can you use that will cause you to look at the challenges in your life with new eyes and a new attitude?
