dont make the problems in your life the biggest thing.
force them to get less attention than what you are thankful for. dont ignore them, but keep them out of the center.

try this : when a problem enters the center of your mind, pause, and entirely focus on a gift in your life. maybe even one related to the problem, until you feel it. then take a breath of gratitude, and listen calmly to the still small voice inside for understanding on the problem.

it doesnt always work, but it sure works enough of the time to make the quality of your life, which is fleeting, much better.

the latin “dixi”.
or, “ive said what i had to say”

and did you know the likely reason we call the Haudenosaunee the Iroquois rather than their actual name, is because they regularly said ‘Hiro’ at the end of explanations which means, ‘i have spoken’, or im done youre turn, and the french just decided to start calling them Hiro-quois or “people who say Hiro”?

learning little quirks about people, and the unique things that make them them, is so much more interesting and meaningful than politics.
