Don't worry about the future;
or worry, but know that

Worrying is as effective as
trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubblegum.

Advice is a form of nostalgia, dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it's worth.

The real troubles in your life
are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind.
The kind that blindside
you at4pm on some idle Tuesday.






Resilience(Monday, 4 March 2013 / 11:01 am)

Work is currently developing a resilience program for lawyers. My perception of resilience is that resilience is about building the strength to overcome the daily challenges that life throws at you. I've been editing the workbook for this workshop, and one of the exercises invites the participant to write down 3 good things that have happened to them yesterday or today.

This exercise is supposed to encourage the brain to engage in positive thought processes.

In my goal to be happier, I've decided to try this out:

  1. I got taken out for lunch at Danny Doolans
  2. Pete helped me clean the dishes after dinner
  3. I bought new tea towels
