The point of this mental exercise is not to alarm you. It’s to bring clarity to something that goes largely unnoticed: how much time we actually spend with the people we like and love. We don’t need to be with all of our good friends all the time. In fact, some people who energize us and enhance our lives might do so specifically because we don’t see them very often, and like anything else in life, there is a balance that should be struck. Sometimes we are compatible with a person only to a point, and that point is good enough.

Focus on the Present; Treat the Past and Future with an Ordinary MindTwo years ago, I heard about a best-selling book called “The Power of Now'' on Open Language. The book has this passage: All negativity is caused by an accumulation of psychological time and denial of the present moment. Unease, anxiety, tension, stress, worry, all forms of fear are caused by thinking about the future. Guilt, regret, resentment, grievances, sadness, bitterness, all forms of non-forgiveness are caused by worrying about the past.
