Instagram @rhyannawatson Roger Miller said, “Some people walk in the rain. Others just get wet.” He’s so right. Have you ever noticed that two people can experience the same event but react in totally different ways? I sure have. And that reaction makes all the difference in the world. E + R = O or Event plus Reaction equals Outcome. You can’t change, prevent, or delete many of the “Events” that happen in life, but you do have control over your “Reaction.” And that’s critical. Your reaction will give you the “Outcome” of celebration or desperation. Action: BELIEF, FOCUS, and VISION will give you a life of celebration instead of desperation. This week I challenge you to work on your FOCUS. So what determines your “Reaction?” There are three elements. The first element is BELIEF. If you have the right beliefs, and if you believe in the right things, you’ll be on the road to a life of celebration. Unfortunately, some people just don’t get it. They believe in the wrong things. Just look at people’s bumper strips, and you’ll see what I’m talking about. Last week I saw a well dressed person driving an expensive car with a bumper strip that read, “Life is a bitch, then you die.” How sad! Contrast that to a person who uses the power of BELIEF. Even though that person might have a challenging life, he or she continues to experience joy and peace of mind. The second element is FOCUS. What do you choose to focus on? There’s always some good in a bad situation, and there’s always some bad in a good situation. Afterall, we’re living on earth, not in heaven. An old ditty says it this way: “As you go through life, brother, Whatever be your goal, Keep your eye upon the doughnut, And not upon the hole!” The third determining element is VISION. Whereas as focus deals with what you see in the present, vision deals with what you see in the future. Those who live lives of desperation only see doom and gloom in the future. But those who see the blessings no matter how much tried to knock them over they seem to live a life of joys and blessings.
