What affects us?

Other people will hold all kinds of views, offer all sorts of opinions, and will say things and do things. That does not mean we have to allow that to affect us.

It’s a choice that we alone hold as to what we allow to affect us.

Words are no bother

Words can never hurt us, unless we choose it to.

Actions can never hurt us, unless we choose.

We choose within what will bother us.

The secret to peace within is to choose to let nothing bother us. Accept people as they are and accept what has happened has already happened. We can only control ourselves.
