“It’s not what happens to us, but our response to what happens to us that hurts us. Of course, things can hurt us physically or economically and can cause sorrow. But our character, our basic identity, does not have to be hurt at all. In fact, our most difficult experiences become the crucibles that forge our character and develop internal powers, the freedom to handle difficult circumstances in the future and to inspire others to do so as well.” ~ Stephen R. Covey

For a lot of people, last night's election was disappointing. But then, for a lot of people, it was a great victory.

This is for both sides. Whether who you wanted won or lost, remember that your reaction is who you are. Don't respond with hate, or smugness. And remember - the people who voted against you aren't enemies to be fought.
