"How we perceive a situation and how we react to it is the basis of our stress. If you try and see the good in the situation, your stress levels will greatly diminish"

I try to tell myself this daily. :) Wish my brain would listen more often.

A little bit long, but I love this one, from the Dalai Lama.

“If we think only of ourselves, and forget about other people, then our minds occupy a very small area. Inside that small area, even a tiny problem appears very big. But the moment you develop a sense of concern for others, you realize that, just like ourselves, they also want happiness; they also want satisfaction. When you have this sense of concern, your mind automatically widens. At this point, your own problems, even big problems, will not be so significant. The result? Big increase in peace of mind. So, if you think only of yourself, only of your own happiness, the result is actually less happiness. You get more anxiety, more fear.”

No one can bring you peace but yourself - Ralph Waldo Emerson

[mw0929]

He who would be useful, strong, and happy must cease to be a passive receptacle for the negative, beggarly, and impure streams of thought; and as a wise householder commands his servants and invites his guests, so must he learn to command his desires and to say, with authority, what thoughts he shall admit into the mansion of his soul. --James Allen

"Every tommorow has two handles. We can take hold of it with the handle of anxiety or the handle of faith"
