Phil 'er up
Sorry about the pun but It's Your Money, a site full of common sense and practical management advice has Dr. Phil McGraw's ten laws of life. All of them are simple and easy to understand but not so easy to apply. #7 caught my attention:
Life is managed; it is not cured.
As long as you're alive, there will never be a day when every single one of your problems has been vanquished. Some days will, of course, be dramatically better than others. In the end, it is up to you to build (and enjoy) those particular "some days." Learn to be an effective "life manager." Work toward resolving, rather than enduring, your array of problems. Draft realistic expectations rather than naïve ones. Learn to regard success as an always-moving target. Without a conscious, well-considered strategy, more often than not, that success will elude you.
