WHY WORRY
- Some things in life are beyond our control. When we are in that situation, we feel overwhelmed as we try everything in our power to control it. But that is useless!
- The founders of WhatsApp did not get jobs at Twitter and Facebook when they applied, which worked out in their favor in the future. Hence, what we see as bad at one point in time can turn out to be the best thing to happen to us.
- Think: Is this in my control? If yes, you can do something about it. If no, then you cannot do anything about it. Therefore, in both circumstances, why worry

Forgiveness
Principles we should know about forgiveness
- Look beyond the situation: If we are hurt by someone’s words, try to understand why they spoke them. When people act harshly towards us, most of the time they are suffering too. This is empathy.
- Separate the episode from the person: Rather than being affected by the emotion of guilt by saying, ‘I am wrong,’ or anger by saying, ‘You are wrong,’ we should separate the I or the You and deal with the wrong.

Self Discovery
- We should understand ourselves to know what is meaningful to us, and what we want to devote our time to. This can be done by understanding our purpose, which takes dedication and patience. Discovering our purpose is exciting, just as opening a gift gives the feeling of anticipation and joy. Reaching our purpose in life is a journey, not an event.
- If we are older and have not yet figured out our purpose, we can follow the principle: love what we have to do and do what we love to do.

Selfless Sacrifice
Life is a journey from being selfish(Ice-cream) to selfless (Candle) – a journey towards lasting happiness.
The philosophy of ICE-CREAM is to enjoy it before it melts.
Whereas, philosophy of CANDLE is: Give light to others before it melts.
We all lie somewhere between the two. Being selfless is not to be confused with being over-caring. An empty cup can’t fill others’ cups. Even safety instructions on the plane say – Wear your own oxygen mask before helping others in times of crisis.
