It hurts when a friend or loved one takes another side than ours but I try to remember who I am, what I want and am working for. Concentrating on me, helps me not feel so badly when others choose something other than what I have.

I like the quote from Robert Louis Stevenson:

“Quiet minds cannot be perplexed or frightened but go on in fortune or misfortune at their own private pace, like a clock during a thunderstorm.”
