About This Quote

We are far more likely to remember the things that are truly important to us than the trivial bits of personal information that clutter our brains. We often dig up memories of times when we were hurt or made to feel bad, but these should be dealt with and forgotten. We also tend to forget the good things we do and what we go through because we spend so much time focusing on everything that’s wrong. The simple truth is that we’re not always going to be happy, but we can choose how we react to those moments.
