Sometimes stuff just doesn’t work out. I tell myself to give the situation some time and some space. We feel different after a while.

And the space gives us literal perspective. We’re physically further removed, so we view things differently.

This doesn’t mean we should bury our feelings and emotions. Expression is necessary. Ever seen Lincoln’s unsent letter? That’s certainly one way to relieve any pent up agitation.

Another is to shift our focus, to give our attention to something else. Gratitude helps here. It allows us to maximize our seconds. Because in the end, time is our only and ultimate finite resource.

How ‘bout this amazing thing we call life?
