Choose to not let things upset you

Happy thought provoking Thursday. Our positive quote of the day states: “Every day we have plenty of opportunities to get angry, stressed or offended. But what you’re doing when you indulge these negative emotions is giving something outside yourself power over your happiness. You can choose to not let little things upset you,” by Joel Osteen. Reactive people respond to every situation by attempting to put out metaphorical fires that could have been prevented before they became infernos. Proactive people realize they can’t allow circumstances to dictate their responses, thus they plan, have contingency plans, and know how to shake it off, when necessary. We can’t control the negative things that happen around us, but we can control our response. #Beinspired #Plan4It #LuminousQuotes
