Action

Grand day,

Hope all is well with you and yours. Today I am giving thanks for action. When things happen to us, we can respond immediately or pause give thought and act. When we react to anything, that which cause the reaction is in control. 

I was reading a story about Abe Lincoln, when he was a young attorney. He used to write scathing letters to his opposition. After some time, he realized the damage of his letters, so he incorporated a new way to handle those who disagreed with him. He still will write the letter, but before he sent, he put the letter in a drawer for two days and then come back to it. If, he had the same sentiments he would send. Most times he ends up tearing the letter up. This is action versus reaction. When we act it’s with thought, when we react it’s with emotion. Give thanks. Peace
