dont sweat the small staff ..... and it's all small stuff

Simple ways to keep the little things from taking over your life.

Quoting:

"The quality of patience goes a long way toward your goal of creating a more peaceful and loving self. The more patient you are, the more accepting you will be of what is, rather than insisting that life be exactly as you would like it to be."

"To a large degree, the measure of our peace of mind is determined by how much we are able to live in the present moment. Irrespective of what happened yesterday or last year, and what may or may not happen tomorrow, the present moment is where you are - always."

"Make peace with imperfection. The need for perfection and the desire for inner tranquility conflict with each other."

"Whenever we are dealing with bad news, a difficult person or a disappointment of some kind, most of us get into certain habits, ways of reacting to life - particularly adversity - that dont serve us very well. We overreact, blow things out of proportion, hold on too tightly, and focus on the negative aspects of life."

"Be grateful when you are feeling good and graceful when you are feeling bad."
