I was getting uptight again. My husband cut his hair in the bathroom and left little bits of hair everywhere. Little bits of hair lined the tub, the counter top and some hairs made it into my contact lens case.
My frustration felt old and tired. I wanted a change.
The present moment. I’m in the present moment! I am here. But it’s not just being here that’s important. It’s enjoying the present. I decided to like what I see… the hairs belong to my husband. He left a mess. So what?
Life is a series of problems and messes. Living successfully means handling them mindfully. Getting upset over the same thing repeatedly is a waste of time. If you can’t change it, you can accept it and choose to see it differently.
We know who we are by the choices we make.

Letting go of the smaller hassles in life is a tough battle. But its so worth it! My car got towed the other day, but I just took the loss, but went on with my day, and guess what, my day recovered . I have decided to brush aside small niggles and monetary losses. Something I could never do before

To most people, getting a car towed is a big deal! Kudos to you for “letting go” and rolling with it. Each day is precious and to chose to have a good day anyway. Awesome!

Well said! Sometimes trying to change things is more difficult than simply letting it be and moving forward!
