There are some things you can control in life. There are other things you can't control. The way you respond to things you can't control helps determine your stress level and your quality of life and health.

People who regularly get upset over small things suffer in many ways. People who shrug them off do much better. Shrugging off certain things doesn't mean you are indifferent; it simply means you've accepted the fact that you can't do anything to change them at that time.

Refuse to live in frustration. Learn to shrug off the things you can’t control and shake off offense. The minute something comes your way that could offend you say “nope!”

No matter what comes your way, shake it off and move forward. When you have a positive mindset, you can’t be offended. – Joel Osteen
