Have you ever been in a situation or a position where you don’t know what to do? It could be through lack of life experience in that particular matter, or lack of exposure to it on your journey so far. Either way, at times it can be really tough to know what to do.
However, there is something really important to take stock of. What ever happens next is up to us. This is something I have taken on board from a quote from the legendary Sir David Attenborough when he described the catastrophic damage to the environment. As we approach a point of no return, he uttered those immortal words “What happens next is up to us”.
That really struck a chord with me at the time. But also it changed my way of thinking, and has done each and every day since.
The reality is whatever happens next is within our control. I understand that it may not always be the outcome we want at that very moment in time, but how we react controls what happens. Don’t ever forget that.
How we react controls what happens - just take a moment to take that in. To properly digest it, and reflect on what has happened in your life in the last 24hrs, week, month or year where you have reacted and if you could change it you would.
So take that thought process and keep it to the forefront of your mind, then use it to help control your need to react when a simple acknowledgment would be better. The response is everything. It has the capacity to make or break us.
What happens next is up to us…
