Our lives are not determined by what happens to us but how we react to what happens, not by what life brings us but the attitude we bring to life.
Failure happens all the time. It happens every day in practice. What makes you better is how you react to it.
Resilience is not what happens to you. It’s how you react to, respond to, and recover from what happens to you.
What happens is not as important as how you react to what happens.
The capacity to be either happy or unhappy is determined by the manner in which you react to whatever happens.
A plate of food hits the table, lands right in front of you. One of two things happens. Either you sit up and look at it and react to it, or nothing happens. If nothing happens then that restaurant is stuck in mediocrity forever.
Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react. There are some things we can't control and some things that do happen to us that we can't take back, but how we deal with it afterwards is our future... I think anybody can do anything they want if they stay positive and determined.
I have written and said countless times it is not what happens to you in life that makes a difference! It is how we react to what happens to us in life that creates our history and - more importantly - our future!
With all the yoga and meditation that I do, when the chaos happens it happens. But I'm not as affected as a lot of people - I don't react as much. I just let things drip off my back a little bit.
It's not what happens in life, it's how you react to what happens in life.
Its not what happens that counts...
It's how you react.
It's not what happens to you, but how you react to it that matters.
The thing is, the more you fear death, the more you die. So it really doesn't pay off. It's a fear of the dark. Like any experience in life, you wonder, Well, if this ever happens, how would I react? and then it happens, and only then do you know.
Life is 5% what happens, and 95% how you react.
It is not what happens that determines the major part of your future. What happens, happens to us all. It is what you do about what happens that counts.
Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it.
