What happens to us are tiny matters compared to us response to any situation.

About This Quote

What happens to us are tiny matters compared to us response to any situation. The greatest mistake we can ever make is to think that our lives and actions are insignificant and should not be judged. What we do and how we behave should be looked at as a reflection of who we are, not something that we should hide or take lightly. We all have the power to change our lives for the better, and no matter what difficulties we might face, we can always choose to rise above them and live the life we want, the life we deserve.
