I learned years ago that most worry about things far in advance.............mostly it's not needed.

And I've smoked weed almost every day for the past 45 years :wink:

"Stress" can lead someone to a false perception of what can/can't be changed.

How exactly and specifically do you manage to absolutely differentiate between the things you can/can't change?

How exactly and specifically do you value or differentiate or determine that which you can't change, and that which you don't want to, and how you deal with the things you don't want to but "could" (especially if there was less "stress" keeping you from wanting to put forth that effort?).

As well as identifying the lines between what would require more effort than you've put forth in the past vs. what you are actually capable of, not to mention figuring out what you can accomplish on your own and what you might need help with. Also, if you can change something but it might require some help, how do you accurately determine another persons willingness and/or capabilities to help you?


Basically, this seems to be:
"God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
Courage to change the things I can,
And wisdom to know the difference"

So...your philosophy is based on what? How deep is the well of your serenity? From what does your courage stem? What wisdom do you actually have?

Mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter.

If you're wrong, you have no right to be angry -if you're right, you have no reason to be angry (that one is only true sometimes, but always applies to being overly-angry).

If you have one foot in yesterday and one foot in tomorrow, you're peeing all over today!
