Do You React or Respond?

"Life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it." - Author John Maxwell

Do you react or respond? This is the question that Marianne Williamson posed in her "Miracle Thought of the Day" podcast. I think this is an interesting question to reflect upon.

When you REACT the results are haphazard as the thought put into your actions is shallow at best. Yet, when you RESPOND you've thought through your response and they way it may be perceived. In essence, you've responsibly assessed the situation and are reacting from an informed position. The end result will always better when your responding versus reacting.

I think this is food for thought for every aspect of our lives. © 2009 - Brianna Sylver - All rights reserved
