Note To Self-
Remember this:
D) Pretend you’re an alien. I have another trick I use on myself when I’m down or angry. I picture I’m an alien who wakes up in a different body each day. Today I woke up in the body of “James Altucher”. Oh, guess what? He’s angry at something. How quaint. He’s worried about something. But he’s got all these other advantages. He’s waking up and the weather is good, he’s healthy, his wife is next to him, he’s got various other advantages. Why should he be so angry? I’m here on a mission to help “James”. What can I do to make HIS life better and healthier today? Because tomorrow my mission is over and I’ll be somewhere else.
