0:00.0	You are not what happens to you, but how you choose to respond to what happens through you.
0:05.0	And that is the thought for today.
0:08.0	Welcome to Seven Good Minutes. I'm Clyde Lee Dennis.
0:20.0	Thanks for joining me for what I believe will be
0:22.7	seven of the most enriching minutes of your day. In today's episode of Seven Good Minutes, we talk about not letting the day decide who you are. Enjoy. The alarm sounds, and within moments, the day begins making decisions for you. An urgent email shifts your

1:39.6	about becoming emotionally numb or pretending that external events don't affect us. It's about understanding
1:45.6	that there's a difference between being influenced by life and being defined by it. You can acknowledge
1:51.2	that traffic is frustrating without letting that frustration become your identity for the next three hours.
1:56.6	You can feel disappointed by setbacks without allowing disappointment to dictate your entire approach to the day.
2:03.0	The key lies in establishing your inner foundation before the day has a chance to shake it.
