Curtis, this is one of the most well-thought-out, insightful, and encouraging posts I’ve read in a long time. I applaud you for taking a stand against the media and the doomsayers who can only cry “the sky is falling.”

William Adams said, “Most of us are just about as happy as we make up our minds to be.” We could all learn so much from the likes of Mr. Adams, Job (of the Bible), and your friend Pete.

So what indeed!

Be of good cheer,

It’s an amazing life approach, “no worries” in life, only a lot of experiences.
how you interpreter the experiences are up to yourself.

Is it something you can learn from or is it something there place yourself in a hole you cant get out of.

That could be two different reaktions to the same situation. The big question is then, which one do you prefer appearing the most in your life?

Have a fantastic wednesday

Great post! This is a principle that I have tried to live by for a long time. I am now trying to help people realize the power of doing the same…many more people need to adapt this attitude.

Thanks.

It is a great and motivating article. However it is not always that easy.

> “Know that you will be better off in the long run, no matter
> what happens.”

Is simply not true. If your house gets burned by a bush fire, your family dies, you discover you have cancer … all things that could happen. You could be better with very bad experiences regarding your religious view or you can learn to have no more positive expectations from life at all. But what means “better” here? I could either learn to enjoy life without loosing my house and family and would be better then.

However, I like the “So What!” idea anyway.

Worrying about things out of our circle of influence only saps our energy. By having a “so what” attitude will definitely help us to focus our energy on things that we can control instead of those that we can’t.

Great article but please fix the misspelling: ‘You can either put a whole in your tank or fill it up’; whole should be hole. At least that’s what I think you were trying to say.
