When things get tough?

How do you respond?

Did you know that there's a difference
between reacting and responding?

A reaction is spontaneous.
A response takes thought.

So, how do you react when someone
tries to help you? Do you get angry?
Or do you respond by being open
to a solution?

I've learned that when I'm talking
with someone I can tell right
away how they might act when I
suggest that in order for things
to change you have to be willing
to listen to a possible solution.

A guy who always does things alone
will never consider helping anyone else.
In fact, they get angry when you show
them a better way to do anything.
Why? Because they walk in reaction mode.
You might think that you have the very best
way to help your friends and family.
Let me assure you that they will be the first
to let you down.

So, when it happens take a moment to respond.
You might just have to walk away from them.

I did.



P.S. Answer my polling question if you don't mind.
