Miguel RuizThere is a huge amount of freedom that comes to you when you take nothing personally.
About This Quote
The most important thing to remember is that you are not responsible for the actions of other people. When you learn to not take things personally, you are free to enjoy life. You can be happy and enjoy the world around you. The more you see that everyone has their own problems, the less likely they are to bother you. You also become more likely to help others whenever they ask for help themselves.
