Why worry?
The greatest majority of the things we worry about will never come true, and the rest we can't do anything about. Worry is a misuse of our imagination. Don't worry! Go forward!

My parents got divorced. I had no father. She left us. He died. I got beat up. The accident happened. We had no money... What we need to know is that 85% of adults today had a less than ideal "screwed up childhood". We are no different. You aren't responsible…
You could go on the way you are going for the rest of your life. But asking and considering the big questions of yourself can be worth a lifetime of experience - and since you only have one life, it's pretty important not to waste it. What do I really…
There was a time when labor unions played a necessary role in protecting workers against monopolistic companies that had no competition and took advantage of their workers. Those days are over as companies compete for the best employees. The unions demanded more and more costly benefits, and shareholders and company…
Do the people around you settle when they face adversity or a challenge? Or are you amongst a group who keep going for the win when things get tough? Do your friends have high standards or low ones? What effect do they have on your thinking? Can you find…
When you look in the mirror, you don't see who you are, you see who you were. What you are today is the result of who you were yesterday - which caused your present condition. Who will you be tomorrow? It depends on what you are doing now. What are…
If you put up with bad treatment from someone or a group, you will keep getting it. What are you putting up with that you shouldn't because you do not like it?
If you want to say something smart, you had better not say everything that comes to your mind. Be your own self screener; because we all think dumb, selfish, wrong, emotionally charged thoughts that are not useful to anyone, including ourselves. Don't let all your thoughts make the verbal cut.

Great job on Doctor Energy Saver -It has been fun to watch it grow (I heard the announcement in the office yesterday).
Hello. Should we apply this same advice to politicians, tax, pensions, etc??? Just checking.
Without the worrying our self confidence will naturally increase.
Hi Larry-
Thanks for the don’t worry! message. Sometimes (like this very moment) I take myself too seriously, so that reminder to chill out was just what I needed this morning.
Have a great day!
Judy
Agreed!….we need to think about what we think about…

I was taught that what we focus on expands. It’s tough to put worry aside. I need a strategy at those times. If I can’t actively do something to ease the worry, I tell myself “I won’t think about it for 10 minutes.” That gets me unstuck and on to something more positive.
It takes the same amount of energy to worry as it does to think positive It’s my choice Thanks Larry Have a great day
“Worrying does’nt empty tomorrow of it sorrows, it empties today of your stength.” – Cory Ten Boom. I love this saying because Cory Ten Boom was a Holocaust survivor so the meaning speaks volumes.
Several years ago I heard the thought, “you can’t tell me worrying doesn’t help. The things I worry about never happen”.
While given in jest, this thought is often true.
Worrying really is just negative thinking. Thanks for another great thought!
Perfect message for me to hear today! Thanks!
