Life Happens

What was the biggest challenge that you faced today?
Somebody probably put you into a situation where you were forced to make a choice that had significant consequences. Regardless of what you chose to do, someone was going to get upset with you. In some cases, both sides would be mad. But like the trooper you are, you pushed through and made the tough call didn’t you?

Here’s the bigger question. When you were faced with this situation did you feel like your choices led you there, or did life just kinda happen to you?

There’s a big difference between people who figure out that most of the time life is not happening to us. We are in control of where we go, who we see and the challenges we face. It doesn’t mean that we can predict the future, but it does mean that we are responsible for how our days go. More importantly, we are accountable for our reactions.

People who feel that life happens to them end up feeling helpless, defeated, and kicked.
People that take a more active stance have the mindset to face each challenge that comes their way.

So think about it again.
What happened to you today?
Or better yet - what happenings did you cause today?

See if it feels any different from this side of the problem.
