I love the book Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff. It’s helped me become a better person (well, nicer person) over the years. It’s helped me be less assertive about my opinions (mine are right, yours are wrong), road rage (though I mostly figured this one out on my own).
But here’s one I recently road (I go through it every once in a while).
It’s 53 – See the Glass as Already Broken.
It says: Everything has a beginning and everything has an end….Every rock is formed, and every rock will vanish….when you expect something to break, you’re not surprised or disappointed when it does. Instead of becoming immobilized when something is destroyed, you are grateful for the time that you had.
Fitting.
