When something happens do you react to it? When you are reacting to a situation you are not in control, the situation is controlling you. When something happens to you and you respond, then you are in control. What’s the difference you ask? Someone cuts you off in traffic, maybe you react by cutting them off. Then the situation escalates. Someone cuts you off in traffic, you respond in love and let it go. You decide (respond) that cutting them off isn’t the right thing to do. Showing love is and showing love is not repaying their actions with similar (re)actions. Want to maintain control? Respond… because you CAN! Yea for You! 🙂
