Richard Carlson
Learning to stop sweating the small stuff involves deciding what things to engage in and what things to ignore. From a certain perspective, life can be described as a series of mistakes, one right after another with a little space in between.
Richard Carlson

And if we take action in order to please some authority figure, we’ll suddenly wake up down the road and say, “This isn’t me. I never wanted to be this person.
Richard Carlson
Ask yourself this question, will this matter a year from now?
Richard Carlson

Richard Carlson
Many people spend their entire lifetimes wishing that other people would acknowledge them. They feel this especially about their parents, spouses, children, and friends.
Richard Carlson
Choose to be kind over being right and you'll be right everytime.
Richard Carlson
