Choose Inner Peace.

That's what learning is, after all;
not whether we lose the game,
but how we lose and h
ow we've changed because of it
and what we take away from it
that we never had before,
to apply to other games.
Losing, in a curious way, is winning.
- Richard Bach

Living in fear of anything is a terrible waste
of what could be a great life.
If you live in fear of losing your job,

If you live in fear of losing your stuff and money,
it is clear that they own you.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie
Are you feeling stressed and upset?
If so, you are worrying about tomorrow.
Events that have already occurred may cause you regret,
but they only appear to cause worry.

that already happened.
You are worrying about paying your bills and finding a new job.
Those are worries about tomorrow.

- Jonathan Lockwood Huie
