Not what happens to you But how you accept it Is of paramount importance.

Sri Chinmoy
About This Quote

The meaning of this saying is that how you deal with life's adversities is more important than what happens to you. When you experience pain, struggle, or failure, you can just accept it instead of wallowing in it. It is what you do with the adversity that really matters.
