Don't let things own you

Just had an intellectual moment.
Was talking to a member on the phone who was completely fed up with setting up her home banking.
"My head hurts from this"
"I can't do this"
"soo... frusterating"
It's not like this was a need, the girl only had a savings account and not huge balance at that.

It honestly made me think of myself.
I get frusterated about things...
like money
and weight
I get stressed out...
and guess what
IT'S NOT WORTH IT!

The advice I gave this girl was something I should listen to myself
Just leave it.
If you can't control it
Whatever you do
DON'T LET IT CONTROL YOU

The peace we have when we can wash our hands of a situation is so nice

Granted,
there are things that need to be dealt with
Even if they are hard

But priorities should dictate this

"worry is like a rocking chair -- it gives us something to do for a while but gets us nowhere"
