  Speaker 2: Do you know the answer to this week's trivia question?
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: The question was which actor played the villain in the
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: nineteen ninety four movie Speed. The answer Dennis Hopper played

  Speaker 2: the role of the mad bomber Howard Payne. Speed also
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: starred Keenu Reeves and Sandra Bullock. Now you know, no
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: one has as the power to make you feel a
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: certain way because your emotions and reactions are ultimately under
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: your control. While others words and actions can influence your feelings,
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: it's your interpretation and response that determine how you feel.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: By taking responsibility for your emotions, you empower yourself to
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: choose how to react, whether it's with resilience, calmness, or detachment.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: Recognizing this personal power allows you to maintain emotional balance
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: and not be swayed by external factors, enabling you to
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: respond thoughtfully and maintain your inner piece regardless of the
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: external circumstances. You are holding a cuckleff coffee when someone
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: comes along and bumps you or shakes your arm, making
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: you spill your coffee everywhere? Why did you spill the coffee? Well,
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: because someone bumped into me, of course, wrong answer. You
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: spilled the coffee because there was coffee in your cup.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: Had there been tea in the cup, you would have
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: spilled tea. Whatever is inside the cup is what spills out. Therefore,
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: when life comes along and shakes you, which will happen,
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: whatever is inside you will come out. It's easy to
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: fake it until you get rattled. So we have to
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: ask ourselves, what's in my cup? When life gets tough?
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: What spills over? Joy, gratefulness, peace and humility or anger, bitterness,
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: harsh words and reactions. You choose today, Let's work towards
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: filling our cup with gratitude, forgiveness, joy, words of affirmation
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: for ourselves, and kindness, gentleness, love and encouragement for others.
