Neil,
You have summed it up and I agree with you.
YOU ARE TOTALLY responsible for how you deal with the results of what ever happened.
It has been determined through research that only 20% of what happens to us has influence on our lives. The other 80% is how we respond to it.
It is your reality and you will have to live with the consequences of your actions.
The consequences will be that you will be accepted or condemned, cherished and respected or hated and avoided.
In the end, there is no right or wrong, there are only consequences.
Coming back to the quote of the day, you have just used different words to say the same thing.
By saying that being totally responsible for how you deal with the results, you have taken 80% of responsibility for yourself and the surrounding world because the way you see the surrounding world is only your way of seeing it. e.g. mine is different as you know.
Deepak Chopra said in one of his latest books.
"You are not in the world. The world is in you. "
and I agree with it and I hope you can relate to it.
