I was checking out Twitter this morning.

I came across a Buddhist quote that said, "We do not suffer so much from what happens.  We suffer mostly from our own reaction to what happens".

That reminded me of what one of my psychiatrists told me many years ago.  "Depression isn't caused by what happens to you.  It's caused by your REACTION to what happens to you."

If you think about it, there's a whole lot of truth there.  Of course, that philosophy isn't so easy to follow.  It's much easier to blame our unhappiness on someone or something else.
