Learn to respond, not react.
What's the difference?
When you react, the other person or the event is in charge of your emotions and actions. You still live with the consequences, though.
When you respond, you are in control of your actions and emotions. You handle things to the appropriate level, and you dictate the atmosphere.
There's a big difference. Be the leader. Learn to respond!
No excuses!
