You Can't Always Get What You Want (And Other Wisdom)

I tried to post this last night, but friggin' "Blogwhore" wasn't working right. Sorry for the time lag.

I was thinking today about the best piece of advice/homily I ever heard. It went: if something worries you, change it; if you can't change it, stop worrying about it.

Good advice, huh? It comes from the Dalai Lama. Via Brad Pitt in "Seven Years in Tibet." I'm not entirely sure I should be admitting that last part. It sounds so cool when I just say it is wisdom from the spiritual leader of Tibet. (Rather than People magazine's one-time Sexiest Man Alive.)

Anyone else have some good advice they'd like to share?
