I first read this in the 60s as a Hippy living in a commune in Wales. (closest we could get to San francisco and Hell of a lot colder).
It takes a couple of minutes to read and for me, as served me well over the last 50ish decades, putting things into perspective when things go a little wonkey in life.
Hope others find this as helpful in their lives.

Yoga and tae kwon do for me! And of course learning music. Thanks for your sharing some of your personal life insights. Rock on Justin.
This is a free course that uses research in psychology to help personal wellbeing. it just involves doing little things each day and is well worth a small amount of focused effort. A bit like learning Neil Young songs really!

As time passes, you will be amazed at your progress and growing love for guitar playing and ability (and Justin - our relentless spirit and confidant). -R
