Dear friend,

I not only appreciate your response, I also appreciate your candor and welcome two cents, which added a great deal of value to my foul line piece. I thank you for sharing it with us all.

I wholeheartedly agree with your take on control, something I personally struggled with in my past. But now I have a better handle on it, instead of it having a handle over me.

It is certainly fair to say the outcome of things are not within our control but preparation, which I have been diligently working on, is.

I also would agree that we have no control over anyone else's behavior. But maintaining 100% control over how we react to that behavior? Absolutely. You bet we can.

Even when others attempt to frustrate us or move our foul line further back (away from the bracket), we must resolve to maintain our course, stand sturdy, continue to prepare, and never react negatively.

I get the philosopher's point. Well taken and well pointed out.

Those who are willing to make changes stand a good chance of not remaining the same through the ages!

Thank you for your two cents. They were very enlightening. Keep sharing engaging and educating. Positive words, thoughts, and actions encourages others to do the same.

Apologize for the delayed response. Just received the comment today.
