“Worry is an addiction that interferes with compassion.”
Wats goodie? Came across this quote in my class on Tuesday and it’s been sitting with me ever since. In a life filled with mastering activities and attempting to make a name with one’s self, worrying can truly weigh a person down perhaps even more than the difficulty of the task at hand. We have to be able to separate what we need to do from the pressure of accomplishing the task. The end result of a task influences our opinion of a situation, but never forget about the path that you had to travel to get there...
There are a few steps of struggle that need to be kept in perspective in order to more at peace with one's own worries and progression. Day to day battles, relationships and future goals. In all of those aspects, worry and concern can lead to one's best effort not being put forth and that's perhaps all that we need to worry about. Stop worrying about your problems in advance and start ordering up some confidence for the present...
With each day that we are blessed to experience, an opportunity for improvement occurs. Worrying about Friday on Monday doesn't help you get to Friday any faster or have the best Monday that you can. Do what you can each to prepare for a future task and I guarantee you will be more ready than you can ever expect. Don't allow worry to enter into your thought process because you are creating a self fulfilling prophecy of failure. If you lack inner strength, how can you seek support from other areas. Faith and belief in yourself is easily the best investment that you can make in this world...
Furthermore, that faith and belief can extend into relationships because if you don't love who you are and what you stand for, who is really going to want to invest their time and effort into you. Stop worrying about the weight of past relationships and stop focusing so much on getting into a relationship and shift that focus into being ready for one. There is a great difference between seeking love and being ready to love. Work on your heart and inner being and that will shine through as the most attractive aspect to a potential suitor...
If love never occurs in your life with a suitor, the world has not ended if you still live towards developing your own identity. You cannot mold yourself into a certain image that you want to master in 10 years and will drive yourself crazy trying to do such. Instead focus on what you are doing now and making sure that your personal happiness meter for the present is full to the brim. Getting yourself to a certain level in life through stress and worry cheapens the value of the experience because your time being satisfied with the world is lessened. Work at being happy with what you are doing and I guarantee you will be more satisfied with your life as a whole, rather than settling for momentary happiness. In a world full of opportunity and experience, selling yourself short by not focusing on your own personal happiness is the worst thing you can do...
Take joy in the small things in life, stop worrying about the wrong things in life...and I guarantee you, you'll be able to smile a little harder and make it through another day...
