I just found this picture on a friend's bands blog. Wow. Powerful stuff. The words, not that print behind the book. It's okay too I suppose. So simple, yet so difficult to do sometimes. Sometimes? All the time? If you're like me, then very often at least. It's always the simplest things that are the gosh darn hardest to do. Be kind. Forgive. Listen. Give people the benefit of the doubt. Relax. Live for today. Brush your teeth. All necessary to be fulfilled, all incredibly difficult to do day-to-day.

These 4 points are probably all one needs in order to cultivate a happy life. How so, you did not ask?

Everyone feels like everyone else, just not at the same time: So there's no need to feel stupid, or alone, or misunderstood in a given situation - we all feel like that. There's no need to worry about what others think of you, cause they wonder that too. There's no need to harm others, because they're the same as you.

People are unpredictable: So don't try to pigeonhole them, stereotype them, judge them, or count them out. It goes for yourself as well. You are free to be whomever you want to be. You are not who others say you are.

Letting go is better than maintaining control: Be spontaneous. See where life takes you. See where people take you. Allow things to unfold as they will, not as you want them to. If it's uncomfortable - move toward it. Trust yourself.

Absolutely nothing good can come out of overthinking things: Surely some things should be considered carefully. Very true - but everyone knows when they are overthinking something. Playing out scenarios that have yet to occur. Worrying. Doubting. Making themselves crazy over something that hasn't happened yet. Or maybe it already happened - and so it has passed. It's what your mind brings to a given situation that determines how you'll feel about it.

These 4 things, as simple as they are, are what it's all about.
