A place to escape and view positive humanity.
Don’t waste your life worrying. I know that is much easier said than done for most people.
To help you with this think of something in the past that you worried about and then think about it in the grand scheme of things. It didn’t really matter, did it?
If something happens to you that you can do something about then worrying makes no sense and if something happens that you cannot do anything about then worrying would not help you solve it, will it? What does that leave out? Nothing!
Excuse my french here but I have a tendency to hold onto things for far too long. Are you like this too?
Don’t let the actions of others from years ago affect your present day. They have probably long since forgotten what they did to you to make you angry.
Anger is like holding a lump of hot coal hoping that it will harm the other person.
If the situation is something that you can do something about then it makes no sense to worry about it. If the situation is something that you cannot do anything about then worrying makes no sense as well. So what does that leave out? Nothing! So chuck it in the fuck it bucket and move on!
I mentioned this quote in another quote that mentions how worrying hurts. The Art of Ancient Wisdom often has excellent memes.
Worrying does not take away tomorrow’s troubles. It takes away today’s peace.
This tinybuddha.com quote is a nice little reminder of how worrying does no good.
If something comes up that you can do something about it makes no sense to worry, doesn’t it?
However, if something comes up that you can do nothing about worrying does not help either does it?
I have found that a lot of times when I get anxiety over something and I ask myself the question, “Will this even matter in six months, in one year, or five years?” the answer is almost always no.
In fact, many times the things that I worry about or get anxiety about won’t matter even 15 minutes from now!
When I gave this quote to a group of people in Wabeno one realized that it applied to him just today.
Isn’t this the truth! I have always been a worrywart. This quote from Wayne Dyer reminds me of something he said he learned from one of his teachers. To paraphrase a teacher told him that if you can solve the thing that you are worried about then there is no point to worry. Wayne thought this was really good and wrote it down. Then the teacher said that if you cannot do anything about what you are worrying about then worrying will not do any good!
So that leaves out everything doesn’t it? Think about it if you are worrying all you are doing is pumping up the wrong emotions inside of you. If you are thinking about what could go wrong all you are doing is attracting that to yourself. Worrying does not solve the problem now, does it? All it does is make the problem worse.
Tony Robbins said that if you ask the wrong questions you will get the wrong answers. Don’t ask yourself, “How could he have done this to me!”. All this will do is make your brain think of reasons why. Instead, ask yourself, “How can I make this better?”. Then your mind will think of ways to resolve things and the worries will go down. Who knows? You may come up with a solution for your worries or realize that it wasn’t such a big thing after all!
One thing to ask yourself that will help you in this situation is, “Will this matter 24 hours from now? Will it matter one week from now? Will it matter one year from now?”. The answer more than likely is no and you will discover that it isn’t as big of a deal after all and that you could manage it.
