Keeping It Real: Where did so many of us get the idea that if we are too happy, something
terrible is going to happen? We can't enjoy ourselves, can't let our guard down
because we think that being hyper-vigilant will protect us. We can't ward off
disaster by not being too happy. As the great philosopher Epictetus reminds us,
"When considering the future, remember that all situations unfold as they do
regardless of how we feel about them." We can exercise caution and care, we can
plan and scheme, but to a great extent, life unfolds on a grander scale than all
of our scheming. Worry will do nothing to change the outcome. It doesn't have to be hard. Ya Dig?...
