You can look at aging, illness, and death as little issues. It also helps to look at a lot of the other issues in your daily life, to see them as little things as well — and to remind you it is possible to find true happiness.
"[The Buddha] found that it’s possible through your own efforts to attain a happiness that’s not affected by aging, illness, and death. In other words, there is a part of the mind that lies beyond these things. You can look at aging, illness, and death as little issues. It also helps to look at a lot of the other issues in your daily life, to see them as little things as well — and to remind you it is possible to find true happiness. It may take a long time, but that possibility is there. Things are not hopeless." ~ Thanissaro Bhikkhu "People Suffer from Their Thinking"
