Reflect on your life over the past 6-12 months and see if you can identify a pattern to your emotional responses. Are you easily
agitated? Do you routinely show grace to your friends and loved ones? How did you respond when life threw you a curveball or pushed you into a ditch? Have you had any powerful moments of human connection? Have you helped someone in need or shared a comforting moment with someone? Did you overcome adversity or a difficult situation? Where would you place yourself on a scale of positivity and negativity? Right in the middle or to the right side or left? Can you think of moments when you wish you would have stayed silent? How would that have better served you then talking? How can silence be a better choice than speaking?
Analyze and summarize if you agree that choosing to be positive or negative has the single greatest impact on your success in life. If you think something else is more impactful, share what that thing is and support your claim. Share how taking responsibility for your actions and how you respond to adversity affects your direction in life and your impact on others.
