” It doesn’t matter. Done is done. You’ve heard this before: You can’t control what other people do; you can only control how you react to it.”

This is probably my most favorite quote from the entire book. Have you heard the saying…” Life is 10% what happens and 90% our attitude”? I couldn’t agree more. Living as human beings gives us a unique perception on things. We are not logical. We are not factual. We are emotional. We say, do and react with emotion all the time. Sad, mad, happy… It doesn’t matter! We base everything in life on how we “feel” about it. Your “feelings” are your CHOICE! Don’t say you can’t help it! You can! It is your decision how to process things in your own mind. So something bad happens; your wife leaves you. I’m not saying you aren’t going to feel sad or mad, I’m saying it’s up to you how long you let that sadness control your life.

We only have so much time on this Earth. Make the life you want. Your reactions to things, whether negative or positive, will influence everyone around you on how to feel about whatever you are saying or doing.

So today your goal is your REACTION. Really focus on cause and effect. If you would normally react to an everyday situation negatively. Change your tune and react positively. See how you feel after the new reaction and see how it positively affects everyone around you!

We all worry, some more than others, but it is so incredibly pointless and harmful. The way to combat worrying is action. If you are worried about something, take action to try and fix what you can about whatever you are worring about. After that, stop worrying. That’s God’s job!

“There Are Always Consequences” is a segment from my book that goes as follows:

“There are always consequences to our actions. Whatever he or she did or didn’t do, there will be consequences. You may not see those consequences for years. You may never see them. However, just because you didn’t see them doesn’t mean they didn’t happen.”

This is important to remember in all of our lives. There is a consequence to every action or inaction. You may feel that your ex is practically getting away with murder, but this couldn’t be farther from the truth. Even if for the next 50 years you don’t see it… they are getting what they deserve. Promise:)
