A final quote from Robin McGraw's book, Inside my Heart

You cannot control other people.  You cannot control what they say, what they think, or what they do.  People have the right to think and say whatever they want to.  But you have the right not to take it to heart, and not to react.  (pg. 113)

Wow,  I really like this quote from Robin McGraw (Dr Phil's wife).  I want to remember this one.
