"The secret is not to care"

Another reminder to myself. The secret is not to care:

I think this “secret” is important, because while we can’t exercise complete control over the things we care about, we can take notice, remember that some of our concerns are idiosyncratic, and try to master them where appropriate. Mindfulness! Yikes, mindfulness turns out to be important everywhere I look.

Are there things I shouldn't care about? What a foreign concept!

Honestly, the blog I link above is not something I'm buying 100%, but I'll admit that it's useful to think about happiness as something that can be cultivated, chosen.
