Accept. Nature is in a continual process of change – nothing is stable and there is nothing we can do about it. All we can do is come to terms with events that are beyond our control and focus our efforts on the things that are within our control.
Pause. It is important not to react impulsively to events. Take a moment and reflect before making a judgement on a situation. If someone says something critical about you, consider whether it is true or false. If it is true, they have pointed out a flaw you can address. If it is false, the one truly being undermined is them. The only way their remark could cause you real harm is if you allow it to provoke you into a state of anger.
