Recently I was traveling for a business event and while there, my luggage was taken. Not knowing whether this was by theft or a case of mistaken identity, I could have easily “freaked out”. Instead I remained calm, in control of my emotional reaction and enjoyed the rest of my trip - but it wasn’t long ago that I would have had an entirely different reaction. And it was only with an incredible commitment to self-awareness and personal growth that I was able to reach this more productive state of mind. In this episode, I discuss some of what helped and also what eventually happened to the missing suitcase!
