No man is ever whipped, until
he quits in his own mind.
Respond to life, do not merely
react to it. When we are hit with
negative words or situations from
other people, we usually immediately
react to that situation. Take a second
or two, pull back in your mind, now
respond with the thinking part of
your brain, say a quick prayer, like
help me God, it only takes a split
second, then you are ready to respond
and not reacting to the situation.
Remember if you react to a
situation, you lose, if you respond to
a situation, you win.
Think about this, when you were in the
armed forces, you leaders looked at a
situation and then responded the
correct way, they did not respond then
look if it was the right way to respond.
