Worried people

Work is full of people worried

The world is full of worried people

People are worried about work

Work is worrying

People are worrying

And what does it achieve?

.

Precious little

.

Worrying causes harm to us

.

It unbalances us

.

It stresses us

.

It tires us

.

And we all know this

.

Yet we still find ourselves worrying

.

Thought for the day there are few people in any developed country who starve to death

.

Few who cannot find clothing or shelter

.

These might not be comforting thoughts for you however if the worst comes to the worst you will survive

.

So if we will not starve or freeze to death what are we really worrying about?

.

Our standard of living

.

Yes

.

This might well suffer and if it does then we find out who our real friends are

.

To those of you who have not gone through this experience be warned it is amazing how many so called friends disappear when times get tough

.

And after the emotion has dissipated we can say what a nice thing to find out who our real friends are

.

If it is not our status that we are worrying about then really what is left is our fear of change and the unknown

.

Funny that because few of our ancestors had great certainty of life

.

Coming out of our caves in the morning looking for food must have been quite precarious

.

Did they worry?

.

We do not know

.

We do know that living in this moment now rather than thinking "what if" all the time is a better way to be

.

So if you want to come through the next few years enjoying yourself then for sure this will not happen if you worry about everything

.

So live in the moment and let go of worrying by pushing thoughts of "what if" away

.

Easy to say hard to achieve

.

Worth the effort though
