As a young person we want everything worked out, fixed as soon as possible. When we get older we understand that it won't always work that way. Befriending older people, esp. in their 80's really understand what I mean. Just simple things like getting ready to do something, at your 20's you rush and what to get there ahead of time and be so prepared. But in your older age, you recognize that this not only is not really possible to get ready so fast, but it doesn't really matter.

A lot of high gear emotions set us into a tizzy. And all that does is create more of the same, and increases confusion and anxiety.  And drinking to drown the ugly feelings, which ie only creates more ugly feelings esp known the next morning.

That saying slow down and smell the roses is a good one.  You can still get what needs to be done done, and do it well...But looking at the good is a very good exercise.  Done enough it can become a permanent good habit.
