Triumph of the Spirit

Finding Peace and Purpose in a Chaotic World:

=====================================

Recognize the Limitations of Who You Used to Be

We Choose Our Joys and Sorrows

Do Not Take It Personally

By Phil Bolsta

Forlorn Adia by Robert E. Harney

Virtually everyone, no matter how horribly misguided they may be, believes that the way they conduct their life is the right way, the best way, and wholly consistent with the way they see the world.

Pardon him; he is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.

George Bernard Shaw

Therefore, do not take every transgression so personally; the way someone treats you says far less about you than it does about them.

If we could read the secret history of our enemies, we should find in each man s life sorrow and suffering enough to disarm all hostility.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Even though the act that needs forgiving involved you, it often is not about you. You were simply an obstacle in the way or a convenient vehicle used in the self-absorbed pursuit of a self-centered desire. If it had not been you, it would have been whoever else happened to be in front of them.

How people treat you is their karma; how you react is yours.

Wayne Dyer
