“No event has the power to hurt you. It is your reaction to the event that does.”

This is almost exactly what I often say to clients: "It's not the events or the people around you that drive you crazy. It's **the story you tell yourself** about those people and events.

I write on and teach emotional skills, and am recommending your article to my readers. Well done!
