#3 Remember The Lottery
"Our problem-scanning machine spends its day looking for worries. It’s helpful when you’re in serious trouble but stressful when you’re not. On top of that, we’re living in a Culture of More versus a Culture of Enough. Everywhere we look, we are reminded of what else we need. You can move to a shack in the woods to get away from it all! But we’d miss you too much there. Please don’t do that."
Always remember how lucky you are to be where you are. Remember you have enough! Remember more isn’t always better.
Remember the lottery.
