You Don't Have To Respond With Resentment To Things That Upset You

I'm slowly starting to realize that it is probably a sign of real maturity - when you prefer to leave instead of getting involved in what does not suit you.

I'm slowly starting to realize that the energy we spend reacting to all the bad things that are happening in our lives is exhausting and it is preventing us from noticing those really beautiful things. I can't be the "universal cup of tea" and I can't make all the people in the world treat me as well as I treat them.

I'm slowly starting to realize that trying to "win over" everyone is a waste of time and energy, and brings nothing but a feeling of emptiness.

I'm slowly starting to realize that the fact that I don't react in any way to what I don't like doesn't mean that I accept or agree to it. It just means that I'm above it all. I choose to learn a lesson from what happened and remember it well.

I choose to be the best. I choose peace of mind because that's what I really need. I don't need drama anymore. I don't need people around me who don't feel good enough in my company. I don't need battles and arguments, I don't need a fake relationship. 

I'm slowly starting to realize that by keeping quiet sometimes says more than words.

I'm slowly starting to realize that when we react to something that upset us, we give power to someone through our emotions. You can't control what other people do and say, but you can control your reaction. You can control how you deal with it, how you perceive it, how close it is to your heart. I'm slowly starting to realize that what is happening doesn't say anything about us, but rather about other people who have hurt or upset us.

I'm slowly starting to realize that all of our disappointments have been sent to us solely to teach us to love ourselves. It is like the armor that we need to survive in this world. It will save us when someone tries to shake our confidence or make us feel like bad people.

I'm slowly starting to realize that even if I respond to what is happening, it won't change anything. I'm not going to make other people fall in love with me or respect me. It is not a magic wand, it can't change their mind. Sometimes it's better just to let things remain as they are, to let people go, not to fight, not to explain themselves, not to demand answers and not to expect any understanding from them.

I'm slowly starting to realize life gets a lot better when you focus on what's going on inside you and not around you. Work on yourself and your inner world, and you will come to the realization that no reaction is the key to a happy and healthy life.
