Keeping Life in Perspective

Not all unpleasantness can be dismissed. Someone offered a guide: Don't sweat the small stuff. It's all small stuff. However, it's not small when you are fired, your child gets hurt, you lose someone you love, or you discover your child is on drugs. Even real small stuff, like a cinder in the eye, cannot be dismissed lightly. A better guide is, You may not be able to stop the birds of sadness from flying over your head, but you don't have to let them nest in your hair. Whether it is big or small stuff, we must realize we have the capacity to cope and adjust.
