473. What do we want? 

The worried parent about their children.

Or the frenzied traveler

And the nervous investor… 

What do we want? 

A world that’s always safe 

for the weather to hold off and for there to be no traffic 

That the market will turn around 

All these situations share the same theme: external events outside of our control. 

Getting worked up, excited, pacing. Staring at the clock; the check out, their location; the sky 

Whether we realize it or not, it’s as if we’re relying on the gods of fate to give us what we want if we give up our peace of mind. 

And when we get in those situations; here are some questions to ponder: 

  • Why am I emotionally worked up right now? 
  • Am I in control at all?
  • Is this doing me any type of good?
