WORRY QUOTES VI

quotations about worry & worrying

Do not worry at being worried; but accept worry peacefully. Difficult but not impossible.

JOHN CHAPMAN

Spiritual Letters


Worry is a thin stream of fear trickling through the mind. If encouraged, it cuts a channel into which all other thoughts are drained.

ARTHUR SOMERS ROCHE

attributed, Treasury of Spiritual Wisdom


The problem with worry is that we attract the very thing we are trying to avoid. We live a self-fulfilling prophecy. Life keeps its agreement with us through our beliefs, because whatever we think about, we bring about. Life is like a mirror. It reflects back whatever image we present to it.

All humans worry. If we didn't worry, we might take dangerous risks and pay a steep price. Worrying is normal in our lives and has an important function. However, worrying becomes a problem when you do it too often and for no good reason.

Worry-free living can be ours. Worry is merely an option. Take a lesson from our children. Toss your worries onto your Father. Then go outside and play.

Worrying is only useful if it makes us aware of something that needs to be remedied, allows us to resolve the situation and move on. It is bad for us when it constantly fills our mind and we take no action or remain preoccupied. It wastes time and energy.

Don't go looking for worry. It finds you on its own.

The first essential component of worry is a future orientation. In other words, when you worry you invariably focus on something that might happen but hasn't happened yet. This notion might seem a bit controversial. In fact, you might even disagree with it. You might argue that you worry about things that are happening now, not in the future. A closer look, though, reveals the truth--worry is like a haunted crystal ball, tormenting you with a terrifying view of the future.

10 Simple Solutions to Worry


Worry is different from fear. If fear is like a raging fever, worry is a low-grade temperature. It nags at us, simmers in our souls, hovers in the back of our minds like a faint memory. We may fear certain realities, like death; we worry about vague possibilities. Worry distracts us more than paralyzes us. It is like a leaky faucet we never get around to fixing.
