It's how you respond, not what happens.

Life can be a swirling maze of distortion within a hazy storm. But really, it's what you make of it; the story you're telling yourself. If you come to a place of calm and recognise that everything is temporary, then you can pause to change the narrative you are telling yourself. This in turn helps you feel better about what's happening - looking at it from a different perspective, with different feelings. Life happens for you, not to you.
