thread created in 2009! Would love to continue on with this in current times!
What are your thoughts about the following passage?
The opportunity to respond
You have the opportunity to respond to whatever happens in your world. And the way you respond determines the quality of your life.
What matters most is not what happens to you. What matters most is the way you respond.
You can respond any way you choose. So choose those positive, empowering responses that will move your life forward.
It may seem in certain situations that a negative response is the only possible response, and yet that is never the case. Always, a positive response is just as possible, just as realistic, and a whole lot more beneficial.
Get clear on your purpose and know your intentions. Respond to whatever happens in a way that moves your life in the direction you have chosen to go.
For the opportunity to craft your own response to each event in life is indeed the opportunity to set the direction of your life. Remember always that you have a choice, and use that choice to add great value to your world.
— Ralph Marston

I think it is absolutely the truth.
Easy to say,
Take the time to reflect on positive choices when you feel the negativity.
Concentrate and do what is right and good for you.
Again, easy to say and hard to do.
I think it is an absolute road map to happiness.
Words are like seeds. When you write them out, they grow into your dreams and spark the imagination of others.

True, absolutely true. There can be nothing closer to the truth than this.
Our attitude makes all the difference. Its the half cup full thing in life. Either we can appreciate all that we have and live or regret and fret about all that we don’t have and die a 100 times each day.
Our response can turn any situation into an opportunity and it is for us to carve our paths in this street called life.
For every experience/situation the response we set our mind on determines our progress.
Like they say that the like poles repel in science and attract in spirituality. when we have a positive frame of mind we can never encounter the dark. The seeds we sow is what we will reap. The fruits of Karma can be corrected by our present attitude.
If we are positive we will encounter positive people and repel the negative ones. Our qualities can become our strength or our biggest weaknesses…. its upto us to choose.
We all live under the same sky, but we don’t all have the same horizon.
