Respond and React
When you respond to life, that’s positive; when you react to life, that’s negative. Example: You get sick and go to the doctor. Chances are good that after an examination, he/she would give you a prescription. If, when you walk back in, the doctor starts shaking her head and says, “It looks like your body is reacting to the medicine; we are going to have to change it,” you probably would get a little nervous. However, if the doctor smiles and says, “You are looking great! Your body is responding to the medication,” you would feel relieved. Yes, responding to life is good. Reacting to the incidents of life is negative – and that’s bad. The next example validates that fact.

Today, there is much turmoil in the job market, and many people are losing their jobs through downsizing, mergers and takeovers. This creates some unusual opportunities for many people. One positive from this trend is that in the last 5 years, more than 15 million new businesses have been created, well over half of them by women. Very few of the women had any marketable skills, and all of them had great financial need. Most of the new businesses were “trust” businesses, meaning that the women collected the money before they delivered the goods or services. Virtually none of the women have been prosecuted and jailed for failure to deliver on that trust. That’s exciting!

Many of these new businesses – possibly most of them – would never have been started had not an unfortunate event occurred in the people’s lives. When those events did occur and needs became obvious, the women chose to respond, and there is little doubt that many of them are better off now than they were before the “tragedy” took place.

If you respond to life instead of reacting to it, then you’ve got a much better chance of achieving success.
