Money didn't fix it. Success didn't fix it. Two simple mantras did.
Most advice about anxiety is complex:
Try this medication
Do these breathing exercises
Change your whole life
Here's what actually worked:
Accept Death "There are no absolutes"
Nothing lasts
Nothing's certain
You'll die someday
That's OK
Accept Peace "Everything is going to be OK"
Say it out loud
Mean it fully
Smile while saying it
Repeat as needed
The funny thing?
Made millions - still anxious
Built companies - still anxious
Finally tried mantras - anxiety gone
Now I:
Pay my bills
Eat pho when I want
Sleep well at night
Wake up calm
Anxiety and stress? Same problem. Different names. Both steal your peace. Both fade with simple truths.
Think for yourself. Test everything. Keep what works.
And smile while eating pho.
