We Control Our Response

"Knights, the gift of freedom is your by right. But the home we seek resides not in som foreign land. It's in us, and in our actions on this day! If this be our destiny, then so be it. But let history remember that, as free men, we chose to make it so!"
--Arthur Castus (King Arthur)

Many situations are out of our control. How we respond to those situations is in our control. Another person's words, social pressure, even dangerous situations influence our behavior only to the extent that we let them.

Stress, guilt, anxiety, anger, outrage, et al are self-imposed responses to external stimuli. We can choose differently.

Don't take it personally, and live free.
