Be Okay. I’m just going to come right out and say this: You are okay. I know that is completely counter-everything that you think and say to yourself all day, every day.

And since I’m the one who is partly responsible for that, I’m going to tell you what you can do about it: Relax. While all of what they say may be true. (And really, there’s a good chance it’s not.) There are much easier ways to get right with the Universe. Namely:
Be Grateful. Be Present. Be Kind. That may be all you need. Really. Science shows that if we are grateful, we either become happier or we attract more things to be grateful for. Either way, it’s a boon. I’m OK with being happy because I have more to be
