It's not what happens, it's how you react that matters.

It's not what you do but how you react that matters. Often we can't change what is happening, but we can almost always have power over how we react. We chat about ideas and tools that can give us power over our reactions. We, as humans, tend to be robotic in our reactions to what is happening. Push a button, and I'll always react to the same experience.We can discover how to respond rather than react and move through our life with greater ease and peace.   The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects it to change; the realist adjusts the sails.William Arthur Ward
