I don't know about you, but I love this quote.

Before I say the quote, I couldn't find out who to attribute it to.

It's one I've heard a lot.

I've seen it on the internet.

I've researched it.

It doesn't matter.

But the quote goes something like this.

Are you having a bad day or was it a bad five minutes that you milked all day long?

I love this question because it's so true, right?

How often do we let something so small ruin our entire day?

We let it steal our peace.

Just someone cuts us off in traffic or is rude to us.

We internalize that and then it leads to us suffering when that is entirely a choice that we've made.

Of course, there are terrible things that we all experience. And these things can be difficult to cope with and like real authentic tragedy. But that's not what I'm talking about here. I'm

talking about the small stuff, the everyday shit that completely gnaws at you and it's unnecessary.

This is the argument you had in the morning with your partner

or the coffee you spilled on your new shirt or I'll just give you an example. I had some brand new

shoes. My puppy steps on them with this muddy feet. I mean, I literally have had these things out

of the box five minutes. We're going a little walk just in the backyard.

Muddy paw on the shoe.

This makes me freak out a little.

Oh, whoa, this is my new.
