Worry

The harm that worry causes in our lives has been well documented by health professionals and others. Worry can weaken and sicken us, and make our days unbearable. At the very least, it prevents us from living fully and happily the only life that we will ever have. At its worse, it can destroy us.

"A god, invisible but omnipotent. It steals the bloom from the cheek and lightness from the pulse; it takes away the appetite and turns the hair gray." - Benjamin Disraeli (1804-1881)

It does a lot more than that, Benjamin!

But the worry disease can be cured and it certainly can be reduced. Of course it requires a change in our thinking - how to view and react to situations. Worrying over things that 'might' happen can waste large portions of our lives, considering that so often it is for nothing, and almost certainly does no good.

"If you can solve your problem, then what is the need of worrying? If you cannot solve it, then what is the use of worrying?" - Shantideva

Worrying about things that have happened will not turn back the hands of time to give you another try at doing it right. So that is a waste of time too. So many of our anxieties and fears are for nothing. Most of the rest can simply be discarded because worrying just isn't going to do any good. So let's spend our time thinking about the good and pleasant things in our lives, and move on in a peaceful and contented state of mind.

"I think these difficult times have helped me to understand better than before how infinitely rich and beautiful life is in every way and that so many things that one goes around worrying about are of no importance whatsoever." - Isak Dinesen

A program to become knowledgeable on the subject of worry, through reading and other instruction, can help in turning our lives around. A life filled with contentment and lacking stress and worry are the goals to be achieved.

It's never too late to start eliminating worry.

Yeah, you have to learn to control your worries; they tend to lead to stress! I know this sounds corny, but I always tell people, "Don't be a worrier, be a warrior!" Once you eliminate those negative vibes, moods, and ideas from your head, that's when you'll be truly free! When you can let it all go, you set yourself free! Keep up the good writing! (=

Excellent points. I quite appreciate and agree with your view points. Thanks for sharing.

Your article reminds me of a passage in the Scripture. It's in Matthew where the Lord says, "Who among you adds a single day in your life by worrying?" It's true that no good can come up by worrying, your article strengthens this point.

Process, so the process, many factors that determine the level of our success, and I think only one of them is a process, that is how we go through the process in achieving our success, including how we think, infer, decide and respond to every thing and or events and problems that occur, and how we interpret and take heed of any thing or event that we experienced during the process.
