You Cannot Control How People React to You

Try to move beyond your hurt feelings, realizing it isn't easy to do if someone else is inconsiderate. Nevertheless, it's important for you to realize that you cannot control how people react to you, even if you are tempted to manipulate their emotions by subtle things you say or don't say. Instead of wasting your energy on exerting your will, find a place within that can transform your fear into love by accepting others for who they are. ~ Rick Levine
