Although you may not always be able to avoid difficult situations,you can modify the extent to which you can suffer by how you choose to respond to the situation.
Dalai LamaIf you have peace of mind, when you meet with problems and difficulties they wonโt disturb your inner peace. Youโll be able to employ your human intelligence more effectively. But, if your mental state is disturbed, full of emotion, it is very difficult to cope with problems, because the mind that is full of emotion is biased, unable to see reality. So whatever you do will be unrealistic and naturally fail.
Dalai LamaThrough training there is knowledge. You can produce compassion, love, forgiveness. you can change yourself.
Dalai Lama
