Sometimes I think the secret to enjoying life is not to take myself too seriously.

So, if it is true that the only people who like change are cashiers, how do we deal with change whether we have chosen it or it has been thrust upon us? I think it might be wise to create a personal strategy to deal with change. Most of the time, I look at life [...]
