Take Nothing Personally
We are to take nothing personally,
least of all ourselves, for the moment we do,
our spiritual growth and journey come to a halt.
- Hopi Proverb
What you think of me is none of my business.
- Terry Cole-Whittaker
You can't get mad at weather because weather's not about you.
Apply that lesson to most other aspects of life.
- Doug Coupland
People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered; ...
Forgive them anyway.
- Kent Keith
(often attributed to Mother Teresa, who kept a copy on the wall of her orphanage)
Don't Take Anything Personally.
Nothing others do is because of you.
- don Miguel Ruiz
Whatever anyone else says or does, their words
and their actions are truly about themselves.
Don't take it personally when they rant,
even if they direct their unhappiness in your direction.
Their negativity is basically selfishness,
and their selfishness is about them, not about you.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie
