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:

1. Accept Death "There are no absolutes"

• Nothing lasts

• Nothing's certain

• You'll die someday

• That's OK

1. 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.
