Get to Work

The most foolish and unnecessary way to shorten your life is to stress over other people's affairs, opinions and problems. You have absolutely no control over these things. So why add them to your agenda? You have enough to deal with attending to your everyday concerns and responsibilities. If you spend time and energy trying to handle theirs, yours will be left undone (so will theirs), and nothing will get done. Many times, we waste our time on gossip and rumors about others so that we can get a mini vacation from our own duties. Sometimes when we are not enjoying our own lives, we try to get gratification from other people's lives. When you're done talking about them and analyzing their issues, your issues remain. So do yourself a favor and just deal with your issues. Eliminate the unnecessary clutter of other people's business and work diligently on your own.
