Reaction

Written 11-25-2014:

I was thinking about how life works and the reoccurring theme that kept appearing is reaction. The way we react to life is the outcome.

If you think of life as an adventure, whatever happens happens, but you have to get through it to go to the next level. No day will ever go without a challenge, or two, but the way we react defines the situation. Make people feel how you would want to feel, given the reverse situation. Be open minded to everyone's feeling in all situations, don't just react to the ones you feel. Reaction is the key to it all. You choose how you react, you can react in a way that will pull others into it or you can react in a positive manner that accepts it or solves it. The choice is solely yours in all situations.   

During the Oprah Live Your Best Life Weekend, I was surrounded by so many amazing women and got to listen to some incredible key note speakers. The individuals who spoke shared their struggles and the key advice was to live your best life possible, to do that you must acknowledge who you are, on the outside looking in. Are you the person you want to be at all times? Do you lift people up instead of put them down? Do you love more than you hate?

My goal is to stay positive, mindful, and true.

Namaste,
Meg
