I'm always learning something new on a daily basis...
Here's a great quote:
Difficult times have helped me to understand better than before, how infinitely rich and beautiful life is in every way, and that so many things that one goes worrying about are of no importance whatsoever...--Isak Dinesen
I can relate with these words above, indefinitely. I am learning that I worry far too much about things and I'm consciously beginning to put forth an effort to not do it. I am learning more things about myself as time goes on, that either I do like or don't, and will take the time on a regular basis as I have been doing, to evaluate myself and my actions. As I'm sure we all do at times.
Life is a constant journey of mistakes and accomplishments. Sometimes those accomplishments are mistakes and sometimes the mistakes are accomplishments. Ha, a quote of my own!
Half the worry in the world is caused by people trying to make decisions before they have sufficient knowledge on which to base a decision.--Dean Hawkes (Gosh, how true is this?!)
Happy the man who has broken the chains which hurt the mind, and has given up worrying once and for all.--Ovid (Here's one for you my luv T... this is you... and I'm so glad to have you as a great example in my life. This is one of my ultimate goals in life. I believe when a person makes a decision and chooses to keep it, anything can be done. I hope to accomplish this in my lifetime.)
I keep the telephone of my mind open to peace, harmony, health, love and abundance. Then whenever doubt, anxiety, or fear try to call me, they keep getting a busy signal and soon they'll forget my number.--Edith Armstrong (I really like this one... I'm going to apply this in my life)
So, can you tell what's on my mind today? Hmmm... not hard. LOL. Why is it that it is so easy to worry and it's just as easy not to worry? Yet we put so much effort into it.
I have been really stressed over moving, my job, my new pay-cut/demotion at work, new different expenses, current expenses, getting a 2nd job, barely having any time to do certain things already and what will it be like after an additional job on top of that... medical expenses, gas expenses, unexpected expenses on a tiny budget, downsizing already to make ends meet and struggling already, not having enough time in the day to get necessary chores done, meeting expectations at work, succeeding with personal goals, relationships, ugh, the list never ends. I'm tired of worrying. After a lengthy discussion with my man T and my friend T... yep two different T's... I've come to realize after much pondering/evaluating too -that I seriously need to work on my worrying habits.
So, I begin... first it's a conscious analization and realization, now the work begins. Instead I'm going to remind myself on a daily/constant basis when I catch myself worrying and even beforehand... that I cannot change/control the things beyond my control. So therefore I will change what I can. ME.
I'm not going to worry anymore at all. YAH, easier said than done huh? I know. This is my ultimate goal. No more worrying. And substituting worry with living! I'm going to LIVE. Fulfilling life dreams and goals. Enjoying the beautiful things in life as there are many to enjoy. Taking one day at a time and one responsibility at a time. And at the same time, improving my own personal well-being and feasting upon knowledge and learning of all kinds.
There is so much to learn and experience. I want to really live and experience much.
A few more thoughts...
It helps to write down half a dozen things which are worrying me. Two of them, say, disappear; about two of them nothing can be done, so it's no use worrying; and two perhaps can be settled.--Winston Churchill (in Churchill: Taken from the Diaries of Lord Moran)
Sorrow looks back, worry looks around, faith looks up.--Anonymous (Guideposts)
Worry does not empty tomorrow of its sorrow. It empties today of its strength.--Corrie Ten Boom
These are helpful ideas of how to focus on not worrying... I'm going to give them a try...
Have a worry-free day and one filled with much faith and happiness! (I will) Remember, believe it and it is!
