Do you take things personally?

«This is one of the greatest secrets to life: learning not to take anything personally.

Understanding that a tragedy or difficulty befalling us is never personal, as times of hardship and struggle are encountered by all. Knowing that another person’s words or perspective of us is never a personal attack, but merely a reflection of how they see the world.

And realizing that there is a greater world that exists far beyond all of our individual worlds, and a much grander perspective that we are incapable of seeing from our limited point of view, that it is working, however unlikely it may seem at times, for the good of all. For we are merely brief travellers here, passing through Earth for but a moment, before returning home.»
