“When you realize that people treat you according to how they see themselves rather than how you really are, you are less likely to be affected by their behavior.

This type of stability will have a tremendous effect on how you feel toward and deal with others. The key to successful relationships really gets down to responsibility.

I can’t choose how you’ll treat me, but I can choose how I will respond to you.”
