It's important to understand, the meaning we attach to our everyday incidents, events, they define the lives we lead. Do the meanings we attach or give makes us the person we are or takes us away from the person we want to be. It's the interpretation, that get us going, whether forward or backward. There is nothing right or wrong, its an interpretation, that we choose to have at that particular moment. It's a choice we make, a conscious decision that we choose to make and interpret at that moment.
Does the meaning that we choose define us, takes us to or makes us the person we want to be. A lot of us lead busy lives which does get stressful at times. An incident, an event that catches us off guard, so what do we do then....how do we relate to that....do we press the panic button, or do we analyse the situation. In both the instances the meaning has already been assigned by us, the only difference being from where we approach the incident. It's overwhelming , when we are faced with a crisis, but for some the life is like a crisis as they are in the reaction mode. Does this help...no it does not cause it deprives us of the happines we so deserve in our lives.
Looking inwards within and seeing from where the meaning is coming from. What is it that we are relating the incident with...is the meaning that we attach coming from fear, anxiety or is it coming from a sense of freedom, where we are in charge of our resources in hand. We choose the meaning, but we need to check the source, we cannot live our life in fear of the inevitable. Cause the inevitable is what we have thought in our minds, but in reality it might not be the same. So if we notice, we are reacting to an event, in a fearful way, rather than confronting it with a stable mind, where there is a sense of certainity no matter what happens. The inner sense of certainity is what counts and cannot be taken away unless we allow it. This is the emotional intelligence, and each and everyone of us has it , but we need consciously choose to respond rather than react by asking different questions. We need to ask " what is great about this situation?"
It does not matter what happens, even the worst could happen but there is something good that we can still choose to find in it. Something meaningful that makes us be in charge rather than make us feel like a victim all the time.
Live with complete certainty and respond to life!

beautifully written as usual
Its like you read my mind! You appear to know so much about this, like you wrote the book in it or something. I think that you could do with some pics to drive the message home a bit, but instead of that, this is fantastic blog. A great read. I will certainly be back.
