“When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.”<\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

                             <\/font><\/span><\/b>Wayne Dyer<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Respond to life and situations instead of reacting to them.<\/strong><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

There is a significant difference between a response and a reaction.<\/strong><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

By responding, I have the opportunity to look, see and feel what is happening.<\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

I have the freedom of choice on how to respond appropriately.<\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

By reacting, often times one creates an even bigger challenge.<\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

There is always a positive and helpful response to even the most difficult problems or circumstances.<\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n


Sometimes the best response is none at all for the moment.<\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

What we give out comes back, or what goes around comes around.<\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

So be aware of how you use your energy, thoughts, words and actions.<\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

This is a very powerful time in our evolution and history.<\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Even with the tough economic challenges facing our planet, we can transcend and be victorious.<\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

It starts with coming from our hearts and using our gift of wisdom and discernment before reacting.  Take a breath, let any stress go and smile.<\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Focus on kindness, giving and helping others and acknowledging the truth.<\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

“When things are at their worst, you humans are at their best.”<\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n
