Learn to take it easy
Can you remember your childhood days? During those times, nothing seemed complicated and all we had to think about were crayons, biscuits or Christmas.

We did not care about the things we didn't know because we were just too oblivious of the things that might bother us.
But as we grow older, we get anxious with the things that surround us: life and death, loving and parting, success and failure, to name but a few.
We find that almost every day, we are obliged to be concerned about people or events.
Nevertheless, always keep this in mind: Do not take things as if they are responsible for the way you feel. Events or situations do not trouble you. How you look at them does.
If you miss those carefree days, you just have to look back at how you used to view things then, and you will know what to do now.
Here's a guide to make sure you don't lose your way.
Cherish the simple things
Trust in the power of a smile or laughter, a kiss or a hug. Believe in kindness, honesty, dreams and imagination.
