* Dead *

Retail therapy is not dead...yet. I know that some people (especially guys) will find it hard to believe; but it really works.

I think it works because when you spend money, you somehow liberated yourself from its hold. You realize that nothing lasts forever.

I once attended a motivational camp and they taught me a very interesting way of liberating yourself; take a piece of paper and write down all your problems in it. Remember; write everything down. List down all the things that are bugging you and bothering you and stealing your time (and sanity) from you. List them all down.

Then...

Tear the paper up. Yes, tear it up. Throw the pieces away.

There.

You're free now.

So, go and enjoy your freedom.

What I realized that day was your problems are not supposed to be kept and be left alone. Your problems are supposed to be listed, sorted, filtered, re-filtered, purified, sterilized and, finally, either be solved or thrown away. Because, if not, it will forever bug you and weigh you down.

Let's try...shall we?

And, yes, be honest to yourself; you are not God. You do not have control over everything. So, let go of the things you cannot control and let Fate (or Time) handle them.
