Emotional Responses


Every experience in life strengthens us as individuals. It is what we take from the experience that helps define who we will become. If you doubt this look back in your life and remember a situation that ran high with emotions and how you reacted. Now look at your present day reaction to a similar situation. There is a big difference isn’t there? Your response today is based on how you dealt with the experience and what you learned from previous situations. You can say we are who we are today by the way we have dealt with life in the past. When people say that they had a life defining moment it is very powerful. This is when everything we have ever dealt with in our life comes to us in a clear understanding and answers the questions we have been asking. It is not one experience that defines our lives it is every experience that leads up to that defining moment in peoples lives that gives us clarity. I truly believe that there is a positive aspect in every one of life’s experiences. It is that positive that will help better ourselves and achieve our goals. I know how tough it is to find a positive in difficult situations. Many times we will not be able to see the positive until we take a step back. We must keep an open mind and focus on being positive. This will allow us to grow personally, professionally and spiritually. With this type of outlook life will be welcome and we will be on the right track in becoming the person we want to be."
