"No es lo que te sucede, sino cómo reaccionas a ello lo que importa"
— Marcus Aurelius

Simplified Meaning:
How we respond to events in our lives is more important than the events themselves. Imagine you trip and fall in front of a group of people. If you laugh and stand up, everyone will probably laugh with you and the moment will pass. If you get angry or embarrassed, you might feel bad the rest of the day. This idea teaches us that while we can’t always control what happens, we can control our response. For example, if you lose your job, you can choose to give up or use it as a motivation to find something better. So, by staying positive and taking control of our reactions, we can turn difficult situations into opportunities for growth and happiness.
