10% of life made up of what happen to us
BUT 90% is decided by how we react …

We have no control over 10% of what happen to us
We cannot stop our car from breaking down.

Your daughter spills coffee onto your shirt.
You have no control over what has happened.
What happen next depend on how you react!

Your daughter is about to cry.
You gently say:
“It’s okay, honey, please be more careful next time.”
