Greetings neighbor and fellow traveler. Here's a few ideas.

* Do nothing. "Doing nothing often leads to the very best of something." - Winnie the pooh

* Stop going to work. "I don't like my job and I don't think I'm gonna go anymore." Peter from Office space.

* Let it all play out. My uncle Coydog used to say, "You got to let the river take its course." Well, what does that mean? I don't know. I used to ask him the same thing. He said, "We all in that river, boy." "And the river know right where it's going." Ptolemy Grey

* Be content. "Be content with what you have; rejoice in the way things are. When you realize there is nothing lacking, the whole world belongs to you." Lao Tzu

* Get into Philosophy. "Philosophy molds and builds the personality, orders one's life, regulates one's conduct, shows one what one should do and what one should leave undone, sits at the helm and keeps one on the correct course as one is tossed about in perilous seas. Without it no one can lead a life free of fear or worry. Every hour of the day countless situations arise that call for advice, and for that advice we have to look to philosophy." - Seneca
