Book name: Dont sweat the small stuff.

This is the summary of the book ''Don’t sweat the small stuff’’. I read this book when I was having issues with my marriage along with crucial conversation and its changed the way I see life. The writer explained how his publisher included a foreword in his new book without the express permission of the person. He called the man to apologize and he was amazed by the response he received. The man said don’t sweat the small stuff for it is just small stuff.

Below are the main points of the book:
• Peacefulness = accepting imperfections.
• Life isn’t an emergency (concentrate on my values).
• My in-basket will never be empty. Nor it will be empty when I die…
• Purpose of life: NOT getting all thing done, but ENJOYING each step along the way and live a life filled with love.
• Don’t interrupt others. Be a listener. Communicate.
• Become extremely patient: nothing can bother me.
• Ask myself: “will this make a difference a year from now?” (perspective)
• Life ISN’T fair: ACCEPT IT –> do MY BEST with what I have and try to improve.
• Allow myself to be bored (few mins/day), to do nothing –> I’ll relax.
• Write a heartfelt letter to someone once a week: express love and gratitude.
• Choose my battles WISELY + accept imperfections.
• Don’t have everything perfect, don’t fight/argue on small stuff.
• “This too shall pass”: everything changes, it’s just a matter of when! –> be grateful for what you have BEFORE it’ll go away: maintain my perspective!
• Be kind more than insisting on being right.
• In doubt, it’s my turn to take out the garbage. I won’t be taken advantage of.
• Say something nice to someone (praise) at least once a day.
• Find the BEAUTY in EVERY situation.
• Don’t criticize and if I do, do it with style…
• Be grateful when I feel good. And when I feel bad: accept it because those bad feelings too shall pass!
• Concentrate on what we have, not only on what we want: think positive, be grateful.
• You’ll become what you practice –> BECOME AWARE and pay attention to what you practice!
• It’s ok not to be perfect: you make mistakes and it’s ok. You’ll do better next time. Have no regrets: stay calm!
• Have “my time” with no one to bother me, every day.
• In a 100 yrs, all new people…
• Nurture a plan: love unconditionally.
• Do small things, without wanting anything in return.
• Don’t always try to solve others’ problems.
• Give love more than wanting to receive it.
• Ask yourself “What’s REALLY important?”
• Mind my own business (don’t judge).
• Look for the EXTRAORDINARY in the ordinary. We see what we want to see in reality. Be GRATEFUL!
• Live this day as if it was my last, it might be. My to-do list will never be empty.
• Life is PRECIOUS. LIFE IS TOO IMPORTANT TOO TAKE TOO SERIOUSLY.
• Don’t sweat the small stuff… And it’s all small stuff!
