So often we have no control over the events in this equation. These events happen to us – usually not because of us. We may get fired, get bumped from a flight, find ourselves in a traffic jam, etc. We may have no control over the event. Yet, the outcome is a result of the event AND the response – which we do control. We can control how we respond. Too often we see external events destroy people and they go through life angry. But if they looked in the mirror they would see the other part of the problem – their own response.
