It's Less What Happened Than What Happened Next

You will face difficult times.  Everyone does. But how things turn out for you has less to do with the events themselves than with your response to them.  Answer the challenges that are presented to you, persevere through the traumas that may occur, and you will be made stronger for your life ahead.

Travel the Stable Road

Peeks give way to valleys.  It is a simple law of nature.  Your emotional highs will give way to emotional lows.  The best route to consistently feeling good is to value the plateau.

Boredom Is the Enemy

There is only one true waste of time: boredom.  Boredom is the feeling that there is nothing worth doing.  Your time becomes a hurdle to be overcome instead of a resource to be treasured..Doing absolutely anything is more productive than boredom.

Regrets Hold us Back

We can't change the past; we can't improve it.  Dwelling on past disappointments can change the future, but only to make it worse.  Relieve yourself of the burden of past regrets.  Your goal is to set the best course for the future, not to suffer over the imperfections of the past.
