Dear Quote, I'm thankful that I stumbled onto you, but where the heck were ya on Wednesday?!

Respond with purpose
What upsets you is not what happens.
What upsets you is your response to what happens.

Just as easily as you respond in a negative way,
you can easily and naturally respond in a
positive, empowering, uplifting way.

The biggest problems are often caused by
what you choose to do about the smallest problems.
Most of those big, painful problems are so unnecessary.

Keep reminding yourself that you are in control of you.
You are in control and you can decide exactly how you wish
to feel at any point.

Imagine the power of remaining calm and focused
and resourceful when some totally unexpected,
disappointing development interrupts your day.
Truly, you can make the disappointments not disappointing
at all. Respond on purpose, with purpose.
Feel the power and the joy as every moment gives you a way
to move forward.
