Another piece of wisdom I'm going to pass on from a good friend is his use of the expression, "Let it go." I was talking to someone the other day who was still wound up about a issue they had with a billing error that was resolved in their favor. I told them they still seemed upset about it. They replied that they were even though things worked out in their favor. "Let it go." If you are still carrying resentment over something that is over and done with, it seems you are preventing yourself from directing any positive energy towards other things you can make better for yourself or others.
Heck, even Carl Spackler (so many great quotes in "Caddyshack"), was an optimist: "Cinderella story. Outta nowhere. A former greenskeeper, now, about to become the Masters champion. It looks like a miracle... It's in the hole! It's in the hole! It's in the hole!"

First! IMV, information in and of itself is never harmful. What can be harmful is how you use that information. If you use it to degrade your forward momentum and positive outlook, then that's not good. If you accept it, learn from it, and "let it go," then there's no real harm in it. After all, it's only information.
Don't let any numbers get you down. You, my friend, are one in a million in any event.
Just checking in Greg. Been thinking about this quote from Julian of Norwich.
"All will be well, and all will be well, and every kind of thing will be well."
It's just one of those Christian mystics things that has stayed with me over the years.
