Most people will make it through today — it's tomorrow they're worried about. I haven't been worried about anything for several days now, and that worries me. It's bad luck to be superstitious. If you worry about your problems you pay double what they're worth. Worry kills more people than work. "Keep your fears to yourself; share your courage with others." (Robert Louis Stevenson) Worry is a thin stream of fear trickling through the mind. If encouraged, it cuts a channel into which all other thoughts are drained. Today is the day that you worried about yesterday—don't let it be the day in which you worry about tomorrow, or your worries about tomorrow will have an endless cycle. "If you see ten troubles coming down the road, you can be sure that nine will run into the ditch before they reach you." (Calvin Coolidge) "We should never attempt to bear more than one kind of trouble at once. Some people bear three kinds—all they have had, all they have now, and all they expect to have." (Edward Everett Hale) Don't let the future frighten you—you only face it one day at a time.
"If you can't sleep, then get up and do something instead of lying there and worrying. It's the worry that gets you, not the loss of sleep." (Dale Carnegie) "By forgetting the past and by throwing myself into other interests, I forget to worry." (Jack Dempsey) "The reason why worry kills more people than work is that more people worry than work." (Robert Frost) |
