To bring harmony into your life is to accept that some things are quite beyond our control. As
saying goes 'Change what you can change and accept what you can't'.
Worry thrives on inactivity and lack of choice, it lies coiled in quiet places. So launch yourself into a busy routine of work and leisure, by keeping your mind occupied on other things will give it less time to worry.
Worry also thrives on delay and procrastination, so take action against anything that worries you, put
same energy in solving problems as worrying about them and sufference will soon be a thing of
past. When you have taken all possible action then remember to let go of
problem.
Failure is an attitude, a state of mind. It is not reality. Cultivate a postive attitude and affirm to yourself your intention to succeed.
Worry closes doors and narrows horizons, its a fruitless activity but tenacious in
grip it has on our minds. So you have to be alert for positive opportunities.
The world isn't what we see, but what we think we see. And
way we see it determines
degree of happiness we enjoy each day. So start looking at life more positively, this isn't always easy to do but by forcing your mind to think positively it will eventually become a habit.
Our days can be problem-ridden, each problem bringing with it
burden of worry. But to know that a problem is a preception is already to have divested ourselves of some of its weight. Problems left unchecked flower in
mind but properly regarded, they are diminished, and we are free to invest our time and energy in living, rather than in profitless worrying.
In most cases, for most of
time, problems are simply thoughts in
imagination, without necessarily any firm basis in external reality. Worrying is a waste of our precious time, we cannot control events or circumstances, we can only do our very best in trying to solve
problem. So instead of using up your energy in worrying, use
energy to take action.
Worry is a guest which has stayed to long. It moves in invitied, and by its presence claims
right to stay. It is unwelcome, unwanted, burdonsome. And
irony of it all is that it creeps into our lives while we're still living there. Go in there and kick worry out. Take extreme measures - take any measures you know will succeed.
Some people will go to enormous lengths to avoid doing something they find embarrassing or difficult, tedious, unfamiliar, new. The trouble is that many problems just don't go away by themselves. In procrastinating, we hold ourselves back. We may wish
problem had never happened. But it has. And
only way through to a trouble free tomorrow is to tackle those troubles today.
Worry makes us think things can never change - except to get worse. While worrying, we can't solve
problem or enjoy
other aspects of our life, which might not be linked with
problem at all.
'The pearl is lovelier than
most brilliant of crystalline gems, because it is made through
suffering of a living creature...' H. G. Wells
