FRIDAY THOUGHTS
By Fabian De Marco
What do we all have in Common?
Did you know that the successful millionaire and the corner homeless man have lots in common?
Did you know that the club who wins the UEFA Champions League (hopefully Inter Milan in 2010) and the club who is knocked out first round have lots in common?
Did you know that the Managing Director of a Multi National Corporation and the office cleaner both have lots in common?
Did you know that a Professional Athlete and an Amateur Athlete both have lots in common?
You see that each of the above have all experienced extreme frustration at some point in their life, each of the above have all experienced incredible pain, extreme doubt, temporary defeat, criticism, anger at their own circumstances, and most importantly, at some point each of the above made a definitive choice.
Millionaires, Champions, Managing Directors, Professional Athletes will always respond to what life throws at them, whilst others will always react!
A sick patient may either have an allergic “reaction” to treatment or will they will “respond” well to it – It has taken a while for the penny to finally drop for me on this one but I have began to realise that in order to achieve what we want in life, we must get into the habit of “responding” to what life throws at us instead of simply “reacting.”
Have you been “responding” or “reacting” lately?
