Begin each morning by telling yourself: today I will meet with interference, ingratitude, and arrogance. But I will not be troubled, for I have prepared my mind. The things that disturb us exist only in our judgment of them. You cannot control the storm, but you can control your response. Practice this: when chaos rises, step back and ask — is this within my control? If yes, act. If no, accept. This is not resignation; it is wisdom.
