Key Points

  • It’s not what happens in life, it’s what we do with it.
  • The power we have is to choose to respond, not react.
  • Sometimes seemingly insignificant worries are emblematic of greater pain.
  • If you hate a person, they don’t suffer — you do. There’s nothing wrong with anger, it’s how you channel it.
  • Underneath anger is a lot of pain.
