WORRY QUOTES VI

quotations about worry & worrying

Worry is the secret weapon perpetrated upon us by the dark forces of the world that lurk in the shape of fear, uncertainty, confusion, and loss. We, on the other hand, have our own secret weapon against these incorporeal fiends. It is laughter.

Worrying is about living in a "what if" state of mind and visualizing what you DON'T want to experience, instead of what you DO! When your mind gets stuck on a negative thought, it automatically shifts into high gear and tries to fix the situation.

One can make one's life a complete misery, worrying about burglaries and shipwrecks, but ask anyone, anyone you know ... earth-shattering disasters and fabulous inheritances all seems to take place exclusively in the newspapers.

There are very few things in the mind which eat up as much energy as worry. It is one of the most difficult things not to worry about anything. Worry is experienced when things go wrong, but in relation to past happenings it is idle merely to wish that they might have been otherwise. The frozen past is what it is, and no amount of worrying is going to make it other than what it has been. But the limited ego-mind identifies itself with its past, gets entangled with it and keeps alive the pangs of frustrated desires.

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 depletes you of vitality, enthusiasm, joy and peace. Worriers don't have much enthusiasm for living, as they can think of too many perils that might occur.

Worrying is an attempt to exert control over the future by thinking about it. In this way, worry is something that occurs on the inside, and its effects on the outside world are only imaginary.

CHAD LEJEUNE

The Worry Trap


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

Worry is fear in search of a cause.

The longer I have followed Jesus, the more I have experienced him lifting worry's weight from my soul. Increasingly, I view worry as a cue to pray, choosing to trust my Heavenly Father and to thank him.

If something worries you, check it out. Do what you can, take care of what you can, and then let it go. At this point, having done all you can, worrying about the issue doesn't do you any good. You could be using that energy in other ways to help you feel better.

JANICE CORSANO

This Is Only a Dream!: When You Die You Wake Up


One of the worst features about worrying is that it destroys our ability to concentrate. When we worry, our minds jump here and there and everywhere, and we lose all power of decision. However, when we force ourselves to face the worst and accept it mentally, we then eliminate all these vague imaginings and put ourselves in a position in which we are able to concentrate on our problem.
