How To Not Sweat The Small Stuff?

[shootingstar]

It helps me to remember that I cannot control the people around me. But I CAN control my reaction to them.

That is a helpful starting point.

One would like to believe that one can think larger and bigger as one gets abit older after seeing things piecemeal or in different parts.

What has helped me abit is that even though the areas of knowledge I think I know alot about because I may have had alot of exposure or been deeply part of a particular world, I still don't know much. The constant learning mode and learning attitude has served me best to keep me from wanting to control and have things my way or not learn of unpleasant truths.

But the unsettling part is to learn of own's one control freakishness via a 2nd party or 3rd party you barely know.
