GPS Guide: Brian Penny Shares More Wisdom

The stress and strain of constantly being connected can sometimes take your life -- and your well-being -- off course. GPS For The Soul can help you find your way back to balance.

GPS Guides are our way of showing you what has relieved others' stress in the hopes that you will be able to identify solutions that work for you. We all have de-stressing "secret weapons" that we pull out in times of tension or anxiety, whether they be photos that relax us or make us smile, songs that bring us back to our heart, quotes or poems that create a feeling of harmony, or meditative exercises that help us find a sense of silence and calm. We encourage you to look at the GPS Guide below, visit our other GPS Guides here, and share with us your own personal tips for finding peace, balance and tranquility.

In the GPS Guide below, Brian Penny shares more inspirational life tips (see his "Five Rules To Live By," here). Are there certain mantras and quotes that help to guide your life's journey? Let us know in the comments below.

• When times get really tough, it helps to remember I chose this life. I chose the battles I fight. I chose the path I walk. Remembering I?m in control of my situation gives me the confidence to take another step toward my destiny. I like to look at it as the destiny existed in the path. I just happened to be the guy who chose to walk it.

• This quote always makes me smile. While I happen to share Hunter?s outlook on many of the finer pleasures in life, what?s most important is to remember that what works for you works for you, even if it?s not one of Oprah?s favorite things?

• I spend a lot of time alone in a room figuring things out. Part of getting in touch with yourself is discovering your own opinions. Sitting alone in your room is your time to sort through all your thoughts and experiences for the day. If something happens during the day that you don?t like, just jot it down on a post it or make a note on your phone to go through it during your alone time. Once it?s done, it?s done, and you can move on with taking care of yourself, getting a healthy amount of sleep, and wake up refreshed for the next day.
