Control the Reaction

“Life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it.” – Charles Swindoll

We often imagine how we would respond in certain situations. In our minds, we play out scenarios and believe we know exactly how we would react.

Real life is rarely that predictable.

The truth is, we don’t fully know how we’ll react until the moment arrives. Sometimes we surprise ourselves with courage. Other times we respond in ways we wish we could take back.

But one thing remains true: we still control the response.

Life will throw things your way. Some good. Some frustrating. Some completely unexpected.
