Some Sort of Balance

Before you write this off as shiny happy hippy shit, which is tough to argue against, consider how much negativity surrounds us. While that's completely out of your control, what's in your control is, not only how much negative information you allow to occupy your mind, but how long you allow it to stay there, and what you do with it.

Here's a feeble attempt to inject proactive postive actions into your daily life, in a stop and smell the roses kind of way. I think it's safe to say business as usual for the world as a whole is all but totally shot to shit.

We can’t control what other people will say to us, whether they’ll approve or form opinions and share them. But we can control how we internalize it, respond to it, and learn from it, and when we release it and move on. “Criticism is something you can easily avoid by saying nothing, doing nothing, and being nothing.” ~Aristotle
