hoke Posted June 26 Report Share Posted June 26 Originally posted by joeg half of this thread is reality, half is theory...There is no thread. But more on topic... Joe, remember what I said last night about spheres of influence. If something is beyond your control, your only option is to live with it. Stressing/worrying/moping about it can only hurt you more, and this time you're the one doing the hurting.Other people are generally outside our sphere of influence. The best we can do is forgive them for being human and adjust our own behavior accordingly.On the other hand, as phatman says, there are plenty things that we have the ability to change, and we should take every opportunity to do so. It's cliche, but life is fleeting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
