Now, let us come back to our today’s topic. Once I was what Stephen Covey calls a reactive person. My mood and my performance were dependent on external stimuli.

But, if people treated me bad or the weather is not so good, I would feel terrible. Once I made a plan for a picnic with my family and friends. All the preparations were in place. We were all ready to go. But the weather turned stormy killing our plan. I felt terribly bad. My whole day was spoiled. I asked myself, “Why does this happen to me?” Watch the video to know more.
