The more you realize that you create your own experience of life, the less you’re held hostage to external circumstances. You don’t take anything personally because you know that everyone is deeply involved in their own story, which you can’t control. Your power comes from your ability to respond with awareness rather than react unconsciously. Nothing can hold meaning for you until you decide it does. When you become aware of the split second between what happens and how you choose to interpret it, you really get that your experience of life is totally in…

Your own hands.
