I made this diagram when I was learning Visio, a software program for technical drawings. I was only playing with Visio and this diagram came about and I thought I would put it up on the site. To my surprise, it was picked up by StumbleUpon, a popular website. Some people found it too simplistic and I agree- it isn’t Prozac. But it does make a good point and after all, there is nothing wrong with applying good design principles to one’s life. At the time, I used an article from the DailyOm site as the inspiration and, interestingly enough, I later found a quote by the Dalai Lama that really fits the plot:

"If you have fear of some pain or suffering, you should examine whether there is anything you can do about it. If you can, there is no need to worry about it; if you cannot do anything, then there is also no need to worry."
- Dalai Lama
