Ask Yourself...

... What is important to you? Is it Family? Love? Money?
Now, think about energy. Energy is not infinite - we only have so much per day. Think of your energy as a measurable quantity - like having a bag with ten units of energy in it. This is how much you have to play with - so try not to waste it! Anger, frustration and impatience all eat up valuable energy from your ration of ten units, leaving less for the things you value the most. Expending energy cursing your ill-fate or bad luck, or blaming someone else for your misfortunes is a waste. It would be better used on something important to you instead. Life is not always fair, and if you keep this in mind then dealing with adversity is easier. Instead of wasting energy wishing things were different, or getting angry at the unfairness of the situation, use the energy to make the best of it. Many a poker hand has been won on a single pair. Be positive and don't waste energy on the things that don't matter.
