Worry, A Useless Burden



Are you in the habit of worrying? About your job, about your state of affairs, about your partner being unfaithful, about a circumstance that might (but also might "not") materialize? About politics, about the international situation, about your neighbor's gossip, about the rent, about putting on a few pounds, even about the weather? Well, worrying in general is the most useless "activity" you might engage yourself in. Why? Because it doesn't change anything. On the contrary, it makes you feel worse because you are actually experiencing negative feelings, and therefore you end up suffering by your own choice. Besides, there is also the risk of attracting the circumstance you are afraid of. Haven't you heard about the so-called "law of attraction"? It seems that what you focus on might be encouraged to materialize in your world. Therefore... why take the risk? Why, instead, not try to relax, to envision a positive resolution? If there is something you can do to increase the chances of a good outcome, do it. If there isn't, just accept the situation and wait for what happens, continue doing your business and...enjoy a good movie, a tasty meal or a pleasant conversation with friends. Life can be much simpler, if you only decide to accept it the way it is. Don't forget that it's wiser to sit comfortably with a book (or whatever you like doing indoors) rather than curse the possible storm that  might prevent you from going for a walk. Only fools fight windmills! The sun may still come out! And you have wasted some of your time tormenting yourself uselessly.
