Episode 4: Who controls the meaning you give to what happens to you?

In this episode I'm talking about how in everyday life we are frequently confronted with challenging or frustrating situations. When something happens to us we give that a 'meaning'. We often do this without realising the consequences of this meaning. 

1. Something happens

2. You give it a meaning - start focusing on this meaning

3. This will make you feel a certain way inside

4. The way you feel inside determines how you are going to react

5. How you are going to react often determines the quality of your situation/life

I personally don't believe that there is a dark force out there that tells you what 'meaning' you have to give to something that happened to you. The question you need to ask yourself is 'what do I want the outcome to be'? And based on that you have to give it a better 'meaning', a 'meaning' that serves you and your family better.
