#davesdailychallenge (29): It’s just not that bad. This quote, originally attributed to Seneca, refers to a vital element of his famous letters, which I will address continuously throughout these challenges. This element being the deliberate practice of the thing that frightens you most. He uses the example of practicing poverty by the wealthy. For now, however, I’ll address this in a more general manner. The next time either you or someone around you gets upset about something ask yourself one simple question: will this matter to me in one year? What about even a month? If the answer is no I challenge you to practice just letting it go. Remain calm. Remain focused. Remain cool. After all, it’s just not that bad.
