Be Not Affected by Things or People Outside of Yourself!
Quote of the Day:
“Our ultimate freedom is the right and power to decide how anybody or anything outside ourselves will affect us.” Stephen Covey
Meaning of the Quote:
You should not allow things and people to control your feelings and reactions. Do not give up that right or power to anything or anyone.
Discussion of the Quote:You are in charge of your own life and you are in control of how you react to things and people outside of yourself. Indeed, others and situations will affect you negatively or positively if you allow them to. However, you are in control of when or how you will be affected by things and people outside yourself.
Final Thoughts:We have to realize that things and people will throw situations at us. It is within our own power to control how or if we react to them. Let your emotions or reactions be rooted by what is your truth and what benefits you.
We can not allow ourselves to be controlled by things or people outside of ourselves. Our reactions should be based on what serves our purposes and not what serves the purposes of others.
I appreciate your time, comments and likes.
To our success

It took me years to figure out how to deal with negative people, Nikola. There's some folks that I can simply stay away from and not go around.
But when some of these negative people require regular interactions, I have to remind myself to let their stuff go in one ear and out the other. That's been the best solution for me.
Appreciate the post!

That is so true,not everyone will treat us with the love and respect that we deserves,but we can't let that affect us, because they might be dealing with something that allows them to react that way.It's not always about us,don't take it as an offence.

That is so true; only you can determine how much you allow others' reactions to affect you.
Thank you.

I think we must also be quite selective about who we allow to try to affect us on the outside, Nichola! There is only so much time in the day, my friend! Some good thoughts here!

Well said as always Nichola!
Unfortunately, negativity is everywhere around us in daily life...
But,.. if we all do what we can to propel it and spread as much positivity as possible around the ones we are in contact with on a daily basis.... then what more can we do???
Enjoy the rest of your weekend my friend!
