When you come up against negative things in life, what do you do? We do the first thing that comes to mind. Most of us react. It’s probably not the right thing. We may also feel rising negative emotions that can get the best of us.
On the other hand, if we are a little more secure, with a degree of emotional intelligence, we will probably respond instead of react.
“What’s the difference?” you may ask.

What a great reminder to be thoughtful in my thoughts, actions and behavior. I am learning to follow the three “A”s of Awareness, Acceptance and Action. Acceptance is the most important step for me, and it is acceptance that allows me to be honest and open with myself and others, and to respond instead of reacting. I am far more likely to get into trouble when I jump from awareness to action.
