This is all both true and insightful. In addition, it's extraordinarily timely in terms of how everything you say applies to my own situation and challenges -- both on the business front and on the personal front. Thank you -- I needed to read this!
My own #3 goes more like this: All may or may not turn out well, but I'm likely to remain more functional and resilient along the way the more I'm able to maintain a Positive Mental Attitude. I'm also likely to derive more of the joy in each passing day, and that in turn will give me more strength to draw on whatever the future should happen to bring.
So far, that's proven pretty much true. It doesn't mean that I haven't messed up major pieces of my life, mind you, often with lifelong consequences. But it's contributed to an inner confidence -- I have been and will continue to be able to cope with those consequences. And, wow, look at all of the wonders of the world and of my life -- they shine through even the darkest days.
May life's full richness and comfort shine upon both of us, and upon our friends and loved ones...and may it do so both permanently and soon!
