Steven R. Covey wrote this in his book and I was reading it the other day from an email a dear friend sent. I love getting random emails from friends!
We've heard this concept before but if we apply it to our lives in a real way and practice what we know--then the change comes alive....
10 percent of life is made up of what happens to you.
90 percent of life is decided by how you react.
Absolutely everything we do, give, say, or even think is like a boomerang. It will come back to us.
Maybe one of your children breaks a special keepsake. How do you react?
What if somebody cuts you off in traffic when you are already 5 minutes late for work-does it make the rest of the day go bad?
If we want to receive, we need to learn to give first.
Maybe we will end with our hands empty, but our heart will be filled with love, and those who love life, have that feeling marked in their hearts.
