We use the 2-2-2 rule. If it won't matter in two hours, two days or two weeks, don't bother getting worked up over it. And don't pick up issues that aren't yours (i.e. other people's bad attitudes included) as your "carry on" already weighs enough. COL Mikel J. Burroughs I use this often when counseling clients. Thanks for a great reminder. MAJ (Join to see) A1C David Sewell SGT David A.

Heard the 5-5-5 rule before, but like your 2-2-2 One much better. Thanks!

I wish I could have been more in tune to this when I was younger- I wasted a lot of time and effort into things I could not control and in most cases would never change. My career has taught me not to dwell on the problem- who cares how it happened, just do some diligence and find a way to not make it happen again. The small stuff- the big picture should be referenced in your decision all the time. Great thought today COL Mikel J. Burroughs

Maj Marty Hogan just like you I wasted some time between 13 and age 29 and then I finally started to realize that I couldn't change the things I had no control over and I wasting time getting mad or upset about crap! Once I realize that I really took off in my military and civilian careers Marty! Now I'm just older, wiser, and more patient with everything. Have a great Wednesday my friend!

Anen...time is one of the most valuable things in the world to me. I'm very particular on who and what I give my time to. I spent enough time being mad and upset and angry and physical. The next 46 years are going to be very different than my first 46 yrs. For sure.

I'm learning that the less you talk the more you hear. The more you hear the more you learn. The more you learn the better of you are.
