If you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself, but to your estimate of it; and this you have the power to revoke at any moment.
Marcus Aurelius
MEANING OF THIS QUOTE
None of us can choose what happens in our lives. However, our reactions to these events are completely in our hands. Often times, it is not so much the setbacks in our lives that cause us pain and suffering, but rather the way we respond to them. It is, therefore, imperative for us to look inward and process our emotions better. Once we have broken down and analyzed our emotions, it gets easier to take control of our mind and consequently the way we react to a given situation.
