Stop Worrying

Personal Growth / 26 May, 2020 / Leave a Comment

I am an old man and have known a great many troubles, but most of them never happened.

Mark Twain

Worrying is nothing more than unnecessary suffering and only weakens us emotionally.

Say to yourself:

„If there is anything I can do right now about the future, I will do it. Then I‘m going to leave it alone and enjoy life with each single moment. My life experience has taught me that I can only deal with things when they happen, and in that moment I will always have the energy and the resources to handle them.“

Loosely taken from „The Way to Love: Meditations for Life“ by Anthony de Mello

Answer the following question:

What would the 90-year-old version of yourself tell you?

What would you tell yourself to do more of? What would you tell yourself to be more relaxed about?

Be brutally honest. You don’t want to look back at your life once it‘s over and feel regret.
