Worrying Will Take up Your Today

Thank you so much for this post! Very encouraging.  It boils down to a person's mindset.  Positive thinking is so important towards achieving success. Negatively tends to steer a person in the wrong direction.

Lou, Worry is worthless. It doesn't change a thing and only create anguish and physical problems.

In addition,  surrounding yourself with positive people helps create a positive environment. 

worry is a drain on the energy -- no doubt about that.  better to channel that energy elsewhere!

Good morning, Lou... if worrying and thinking are interchangeable, thinking allows you to come up with a backup system....

I can't tell you that I have never gotten caught up in worry, but not very often. I can usually snap out of it pretty quickly.

Lou, sometimes so true! Most times so difficult to overcome! Work in progress! Enjoy your day!

Good Morning Lou, what a wonderful quote. I agree we all get worried about small things in life and drain our energy and focus from what is far more important in life.

Hi Lou,

Your are so right it is a complete waste of time. At times paralizing just making things worse rather than better.  Find something, anything positive to do.

Lou,

The immortal football Coach Paul "Bear" Bryant used to prepare his players for each game with the following words of wisdom, "men, have a plan, work the plan and expect the unexpected". Worrying most times, takes place when confronted with situations or a set of circumstances we didn't expect. Preparing yourself for each day with the thought in mind the unexpected may occur, will allow one to condition their mindset to properly react when an unexpected situation pops up. How many times have we heard someone say, "it caught me totally by surprise"? Conditioning yourself to react properly, eliminates the wasting of time and limits the effect of emotions when dealing with life's situations. Thanks Lou for keeping us on the straight and narrow.    

I used to work with a wonderful woman who has since passed away.  She was the first female graduate of Saint John's Law Schooll in NY.  One of her favorite sayings was "Don't worry.  Most of the things about which we worry often never come to pass."  That was one of her many great sayngs.  She always spoke precisely and she was always smiling.  Friends like that are always missed.

Great advice.

If you can do something about it, do it and don't worry. If you can't, don't worry. No need to worry just for the sake of worrying. Great read, Lou. Thank you!

True we all have been there and in the end you wonder why you worried
