Your reactions to events

“Remember that the governing self [your inner self] invincible when
it withdraws into itself and is satisfied with itself,
doing nothing which it does not will to do, even if its opposition is unreasonable.
This power is even greater when it makes decisions rationally and carefully about a specific situation. Therefore, a mind unclouded by emotions stands as a fortress; for man has nothing stronger into which to retreat and be thereafter inexpugnable. Someone who hasn't realized this lacks awareness; those who understand but don't seek refuge within are missing out.”
