Don't Sweat The Small Stuff...
I read a book Entitled: Don't Sweat The Small Stuff By: Richard Carlson, Phd., and I truly enjoy every single message that he wrote on it that I am sharing them here with you...Also, I remember a very special person who used this phrase on his profile and now, it really makes sense to me...THANK YOU BABY!
*************************************************

DON'T SWEAT THE SMALL STUFF!

Often we allow ourselves to get all worked up about things that, upon closer examination, aren't really that BIG a DEAL. We focus on little problems and concerns and blow them out of proportion. A stranger, for example, might cut in front of us in traffic. Rather than let it go, and go on with our day, we convince ourselves that we are justified in our anger. We play out an imaginary confrontation in our mind. Many of us might even tell someone else about the incident later on, rather than simply let go. Why not instead, simply allow the driver to have his accident somewhere else? Try to have compassion for the person and remember how painful it is to be in such an enormous hurry. This way, we can maintain our own sense of well-being and avoid taking other people's problems pesonally.

There are several small stuff examples that occur
in lives. Whether we had to wait in line, listen to unfair criticism, or do the lion's share of the work, it pays enormous dividends if we learn not to worry about the little things. So many people spend so much time of their life energy "sweating the small stuff", that they completely lose touch with the magic and beauty of life. When you commit to working toward this goal, you will find that you will have far more energy to be kinder and gentler...

Dear, sometimes, it can't be helped that we are affected by the small stuff, and that is what is really wearing us down..But, even if it's late, once we realize what is wrong, let's correct and just make the most of what we have...Di ba?..Thanks for the post ha?
