“If you won’t be thinking about it in 5 years from now, you shouldn’t spend more than 5 minutes on it.”

I was given that advice and it's always stuck with me.

Getting some frustrating news could have led me to having a very pissy day. But I made sure I stuck to this rule along with one other question I ask myself.

I was able to turn the day around despite us getting the news of not closing on the house on the day we were supposed to.

Rolling with the punches and asking myself these two questions to keep me in check.
