Things don’t happen to you. They just happen.
They happen near you, around you, and away from you. They occur with and without your awareness, with and without awareness of you.
Things happen. You make choices. You choose what to focus on, what perspective to bring, what to value, and what to ignore. You decide how to think, how to feel, and how to respond to whatever happens.
Whatever happens around you is not yours to decide. You impact what happens, but you can’t control it. You have influence. In some cases, you might have authority. But every day delivers a stream of elements beyond your control. And every day brings more.
Remember, it’s not happening to you. It’s just happening. You decide how to process it and respond.
Brick by brick. Do the work.
