Nice rule, James! I myself am a big believer of Covey’s habit #1 (being proactive) which I think is similar. Among others, it says that we should focus on our Circle of Influence (things we can do something about) rather than our Circle of Concern (things we care but can’t do anything about).

Hey Donald,

Nice list of things to calm an irritated nerve! I practice 1 and 26 frequently if I am in those situation Then I start to look at the positive side of things and evaluate if I could change it. If I could, I change it. But If I could not, then I’ll see if I could do anything to change the situation. If there is nothing anyone can do to improve the situation. I will leave it alone and not be bothered with it. :)

Cheers
James

ameL + harveen:

I think our discussion here resembles that of The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People chapter 1 (Be Proactive). We all receive external stimuli from the environment, but we can always choose our response to the stimuli. While we may not be able to control the stimuli we receive, we can always control our response.

In this sense, Covey said, love actually becomes a verb. Love is something we do. Similarly, I believe happiness is also a verb.
