In this week’s Motivational Monday Minute, CH (Lt. Col.) Corwin L. Smith, Acting Command Chaplain for the District of Columbia National Guard, reminds us that our thoughts and emotions should not dictate our immediate response. Whether facing stress, disappointment, frustration or uncertainty, take a moment to conduct a mental check before reacting. Clarity comes when we pause, reflect and choose our response with purpose rather than emotion.
Don't be driven to react. Think first. Then respond with intention. (U.S. Air National Guard video by Master Sgt. Arthur M. Wright)
