Quote by Sonia Choquette

“A currently popular misinterpretation of metaphysical wisdom is the notion that we cause - and are responsible for - the behavior of everyone around us at all times. The truth is, we are responsible only for ourselves. We can control only our response to and interpretation of events. [...] Not everything in your life happens TO you - or even AT you. [...] For example, if you are around a chronically angry person, you will be "angered upon". Nothing personal!”
