Not the only thing to do, but in my opinion the absolute best thing
to do is to grab life gently but firmly by the balls...

...look it STRAIGHT in the eyes and, to the best of your ability...
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
... very calmly, very confidently, very definitely tell it...

..."Now, look...

...HERE'S how it's gonna be."

You'll OBVIOUSLY have to adapt your descriptions/instructions
to your various circumstances -- but the message can be very
consistent:

"Now, look -- HERE'S how it's gonna be.

1. Ha ha ha

telling life "now, look--HERE'S how it's gonna be." I used to believe that, that somehow through sheer will power I could control life. Life took me by the scruff this year and made it known that no, you're not going to tell me how it's going to be. Betch. But we are all going to die. You got that part right.

2. Right on both counts... you missed a part.

Obviously, we are NOT the master of our Universe -- we're just the
master of how we are going to deal with it.

3. No smoking in the lounge. We are all going to die, but when our

time comes, not before from lung cancer.

I credit that and moving to Arizona in 1998 (less humidity) as the two
main reasons that I'm still alive and kicking today.

Such as it is.
