Why Worry?
Worry has been described as “interest paid on trouble before it comes due.” Worry is like a rocking chair; it requires a lot of energy and it gets you nowhere. Leo Buscaglia said, “Worry never robs tomorrow of its sorrow, it only saps today of its joy.”
Are you a worrier? Do you know that American take more pills to forget more worries about more things than ever before and more than people in any other nation in history? That’s bad!
Worry affects the circulation and the whole nervous system. I have never heard a man who died from overwork, but I have heard people who have died from doubt. Doubt always creates worry and in most cases, lack of information raises the doubt.
Mathematically speaking, it really doesn’t make sense to worry. Psychologists and other researchers tell us that roughly 40% of what we worry about will never happen and 30% has already happened. Additionally, 12% of our worries are over unfounded health concerns. Another 10% of our worries involve the daily miscellaneous fretting that accomplishes nothing. That leaves only 8%. Plainly speaking, we are worrying 92% of the time for no good reason. It’s killing us.
If you don’t like your situation in life, don’t fret or worry – do something about it. Worry less and act more.kAkA.hUnTeR
There is no success without commitment, but once you are commited the universe moves to support you.
