- The life you have now only happens once. Even if there is an after-life or you are re-incarnated, you will never be the person you are now and a worry or fear can only shorten what you have now.
- Fear is only real when you are involved in an event that you cannot control that could have a serious negative outcome (e.g. traffic accident, imprisonment). Even then there should be things that you can do to reduce such fear
- Fear of opinion is a waste of energy as long as the thing on which the opinion is made is not illegal or causes harm (physical or mental) to another. Everyone has opinions good and bad.
- Your own opinion is important. It is based on your principles and moral outlook. You should only change it if the change also matches these principles and morals.
- Events will happen. There is no point in worrying about them beforehand. When they do happen deal with them in the most positive way possible at the time.
- Focus on what you can do not on what you cannot.
- Frustration is only a failure to influence a person or event to your own way of thinking.
- In any interaction with people you will need to change your own way of thinking. Be prepared for this or avoid people except where absolutely necessary.
- The majority of people with whom you interact are not inherently good or evil. Their upbringing and moral philosophy influence their opinions with which you will either agree or disagree.
- You will never have enough time to do things you like doing. You will be most satisfied if you just enjoy doing the things you like while you are doing them.
- Your hobbies are just for you
