I remember hearing the term, “Don’t cry over spilled milk” when I was young. I never really understood it – why would someone cry over spilled milk? Why not just clean it up?
The point is, don’t overreact when things go south. And they will. Let’s face it, sometimes things just happen – someone cuts us off, hail damages our car, we stub our toe, our hearts get broken. We can’t control others and we can’t control what happens, but we can control how we react. And that is the key: instead of dwelling on and festering over, move on. Just clean up the milk and pour another glass.
