The reaction factor....

Life is full of inconveniences. There are always interruptions and challenges. Sometimes we cannot control our circumstances, but we can control our reaction to those circumstances.  Challenges don't rob us of our peace, our joy, our enthusiasm....we give it away! If we continue to allow our circumstances control our reactions, we will always find something to be discouraged about. We are effectively giving away our power in each situation every time we allow our circumstances or challenges control our reactions.
