“In any situation in life, you only have three options,” writes Naval Ravokant, one of my favorite observers on how things function best in business and in life.
“You always have three options. You can change it, you can accept it, or you can leave it. What is not a good option is to sit around wishing you would change it but not changing it, wishing you would leave it but not leaving it, and not accepting it… [this] is responsible for most of our misery.”
The antidote to misery, in other words, is choosing in any situation one of our three options.
