I am a terrible worrier. Really. Terrible! So this is one I remind myself of often.
"Worry never robs tomorrow of its sorrow, it only saps today of its joy."
- Leo Buscaglia
and remember:
"Don't worry, be happy!"
- Bobby McFerrin
Have a great week! :)
Worrying serves a useful purpose if you channel it. It can be helpful if you have a paper to write or project to work out, because it motivates you to think clearly and deeply. But worrying about things you can't prevent anyway (disasters, losing a job, illness, etc.) is utterly pointless. I remind myself that the things I worry about rarely come to pass--it's always the thing I never saw coming that jumps up and knocks me on my *ss. Works for me, anyway!
ReplyDeleteI like the don't worry, be happy philosophy in life. Of course that doesn't mean you don't plan...
ReplyDelete:D
Yeah, Bobby McFerrin summed it all up, didn't he??
ReplyDeleteIt is really hard not to worry if you have practiced it for so long. I have taken to ringing a bell in my ear or sniffing peppermint oil if I find myself obsessing or worrying or other compulsive behaviors. It is helping me! Miss you!!! MWAH!!!
