Book: How to stop worrying and start living

In life we find ourselves in many unpleasant situations that cannot be changed. Before us is a choice. We can either accept those situations as inevitable and to adapt to them, or to destroy his life, protesting against the inevitable, and perhaps to have a nervous breakdown.

There is a Scandinavian proverb that many of us would have to be the motto throughout life: "the North wind made the Vikings." How do we think that a quiet life, full of fun, no hardships and worries are able by themselves to make people good or happy? The most important thing in life is not to maximize their success. Any fool is capable of it. Really important is the ability to benefit from losses. It requires a mind; this is the difference between a smart man and a fool.

To a wise man every day, a new life.

As it is written in the Book of Genesis, the Creator gave man dominion over all the wide earth. Of course, this is a great gift. But I do not need such sveshtarska prerogatives. All I want is to gain power over ourselves; power over your thoughts, over my fears; dominion over my mind and my soul.

We can only act here and now. Stop wasting so important and the moment of worry and regret and do not postpone business for tomorrow. Today, perhaps the most precious gift that you have prepared the fate. Don't let him "go bad". Don't let it be filled with negative emotions: feelings of anger, loneliness, sadness, apathy, etc., charge yourself with enthusiasm. Agree that this day potentially filled with success, happiness, love and joy. All this will be today. Don't let it go to waste: go out into the world today, like in open space, and find this day a success, happiness, love and joy. You will not be able to live through the day tomorrow, and it will never happen again.

Never attempt to settle scores with your enemies, because this way you will bring yourself much more harm than them. Never think for a minute about people you don't like.

Instead of worrying about ingratitude, be ready for it. The only way to find happiness is not to expect gratitude, but to do good deeds for the joy derived from it.

Unjust criticism is often a disguised compliment. It often means that you excite envy and jealousy. Remember that anybody never beats a dead dog.

You should defer the inevitable. If you know that it is not in your power to change or correct any circumstance, tell yourself: "This is so, it cannot be otherwise."

Fill your mind with thoughts of peace, courage, health and hope, because "our life is what we think about it."

The future in the present... there's No tomorrow. Day of salvation - today.

The cargo of the future, adding to the burden of the past which you assumed in the present, makes you stumble on the path of even the strongest.

In this world there's only one way to earn the love - to cease to require it and start to give love, not hoping for appreciation.

We all dream of some magical rose garden, which is over the horizon, instead of enjoying the roses that are blooming right outside our window.
