How Life is How We Respond to It

I like this famous quote by Charles Swindoll “Life is 10 percent what happens to me and 90 percent of how I react to it“. But it’s wrong.

What’s wrong here is that it’s not how we react to it but how we respond to it.

In fact, life is 10 percent what happens to me and 90 percent of how I RESPOND to it.

This is a small difference but it will create a world of distinct outcomes.
