Don't Worry So Much ... Live !!!

Worry. Worry. Worry.

We worry about our job.

We worry about the people around us, be it parents, siblings, friends or spouses.

We worry about what people would think or say about us.

We worry about money. Whether we have a lot of it or a little of it, both ways its never enough.

We worry about getting laughed at, criticized at, or even judged. 

We worry about who we'll end up spending the rest of our lives with, or whether we'll end up alone.

We worry about when success will come our way knowing that we put in our best effort in trying to obtain it.

What's going to happen next ? What if I lose my job ? What if I get cheated on ? What if I'll never be successful ? What if my dog dies ? What if the gas prices hike ? What if I give out a bad first impression ?

So many times, we let our worries consume our joy.  I was once upon a time a chronic worrier. I worry about the smallest and the most insignificant things, like what if my brother finishes the last 2 cookies in the jar ? ( I've been eye-ing on those cookies for the longest time ). I worried for the dumbest things for the longest time, until I finally realize it was insanely stupid, a complete waste of time, and worrying about it is not about to bring my cookies back !!!

At times, we tend to worry so much due to the bad experiences that we encounter in our past. We find the need to be cautious about everything. It also leads us to hold back and be afraid to take chances, worrying we might fail. Looking at the negative side of things tend to be done a lot more than looking at the positive side.

We fail to realize that we can't control a lot of the things that happen to us. We can't control people to not judge us nor can we control who we fall in love with. We cannot control our future.

BUT .... We can do our very best in the situation we're in, hope for the best, and but then get out of the way and let nature take its course without trying to force things to happen! Life has a way of unfolding just as it should when we step back a little bit and allow events to unfold naturally and authentically.

Unexpected things are going to happen. Things are going to go wrong. Life is going to sometimes hand you lemons…but it’s up to you whether you choose to pout in the shade or make lemonade. We can’t ever know what’s going to happen next…but isn’t that half the fun of life ?

Everything is beautiful at its own time and season. Everyday is unique, like the blossoming clouds. It's never the same, but always beautiful. If things aren’t going right for you today, remember that there is always tomorrow. Tomorrow, your life could change for the better.

Don't worry so much ... Live !!!!! :)


With Love,
