5 simple lessons to float through life in peace

The meaning of money

When you’re poor, money means everything. When you’re rich, it means nothing. Some say if you want to be happy, first let’s make you rich. Others, whom I agree with, say we can be happy, and we can stand to improve.

Issues reveal their own solutions

Anxiety is pretty unnecessary, while at times all-consuming without control. In every bad situation I can think of, when I was right in the middle of it, the next step has always been clear. I’ve always been okay. I’ve always built back bigger. Why should this time be any different?

Hurt people, hurt people

Be graceful with others when they work against you. They have a story, true or not, in their head that is making them act in the way they do. Try to understand, and have grace in the least.

Time is sticky

When we get stuck in the past, with a memory or a trauma, it tends to pull us down into a depression. When we leap forward into the future, it stretches us thin, compresses the chest, and sparks anxiety. Remain here, focused in front of your nose, to remain in balance.

You shouldn’t use the word should

Should. Translated: I believe this is important to other people. Think for a second. Is it even true? Even if it is true, does it matter for you? No. Follow your own nature, and compromise in ways you’re okay with.
