Simplify, simplify." I don't like tumult, so as you say, I focus on what I can influence and I focus on what's really important to me.

I think you've elaborated a good point for this day and age: the things that are out of our control are just that - OUT OF OUR CONTROL! Do what we can, but ultimately there's only so much we CAN do. The rest will probably work itself out without us. And only a small percentage of it will really matter anyway, most likely. Hey, thanks for joining the fray this month at the Zone! Hope to see you next time, too! Cheers! Robert Howdy, Susan! I think you’ve elaborated a good point for this day and age: the things that are out of our control are just that – OUT OF OUR CONTROL!

While people should of course be prudent and ensure they've taken the safest measures with their lives, be it home, work, financial, they cant fret over it constantly. My favorite saying for YEARS has been "This is just a blip in time." I always tell people that in 5 years they'll look back at the "Trouble Of The Now" and say "wow, that wasn't as bad as I thought it was, look how far I've come." Your post says the same thing, only more eloquently. Thank you! Matt I happen to agree with you 100%.

To me, the words Let It Be means not allowing yourself to become troubled by the challenges of life, but rather to accept those challenges as part of life; thereby allowing yourself space to move beyond being identified with the struggle and into a place where you can think clearly and address the issue. Letting things be means giving things the space they need. @Liz and @isfan- I’m not necessarily suggesting ignoring problems.
