Better Perspective for a Better Year

Here's a bit of ancient wisdom that is so relevant to 2012:

“You cannot prevent the birds of sorrow from flying over your head, but you can prevent them from building nests in your hair.” - Chinese Proverb

It's a wonderful way to remember that we can work with rather than be a prisoner of our feelings.

You won't have to create effective strategies from scratch. Here are few well-reviewed authors to help you on the way:
