Responding is in our hands

In life only we can expect the unexpected. It's true to be surprised by life's sudden happenings which usher in the worst mental condition. But the most important thing is that we are the greatest living being on earth. We are not like other animals who do what they are destined to do. Because we can think, we can decide, we can judge. So why can't we respond in the way we want to a sudden setback? Yes, life can throw any of its curves to us anytime, anywhere. But the responding is in our hands. The reaction is up to us. And this particular gesture or shift of mind actually distinguish the best from the rest. Someone says so brilliantly than I ever could - Life is 10% what happens to us and 90% what we happen to them. So today whatever happens to you, stand up, go, move, begin, maintain, respond in the way you want. Not at the whims of the situation. Not at the wishes of others. It's your life. Live it. Because, you will only able to live your life in the way you want, if you can RUN your OWN race. So, begin now.
