Princess & the Pea

If you pick up a piece of luggage and it is heavy… without adding contents, do you know what will make it heavier?

Just keep talking about how heavy it is!

Think about it. The more you complain about a situation, the worse the situation becomes. That’s why most can relate to the story of the Princess and the Pea.

For those of you who don’t know this story, don’t feel badly. The Dose learned about this Princess twenty years ago when she was told we were alike. I like the idea of being compared to a princess; the problem is this princess was known for continuously complaining about the small pea under her mattress. Yuck… I used to be just like her. The more I focused on some small irritating thing, like the hissing noise from the radiator, the louder the hissing became.

Even today, I can find myself focusing on something that makes the situation worse than it truly is.

It’s time to forget about the pea and be thankful for the mattress.
