Motivation Tuesday: THE WORRIER

  I don’t know that problem you have. One thing I have learnt is that worrying never solves anything. Worry takes away from you. You thinking and brooding about that problem over and over, crying over it, shaping your whole life around it won’t make it any better.

  Worry is like a monster. You give it power over you. It takes over ever part of your life and affects everything else. It blocks your view from seeing what you have and should be grateful for. It is human nature to think about a problem but don’t let that problem consume your life, your day and nights.

  Worry feeds on your life. It makes and creates a mountain out of a molehill. Before you know it, it drags other monsters in for you such as; sleeplessness, weight loss, high blood pressure, depression, suicidal thoughts, fear, an illness etc.

  Are you a worrier? Did worrying solve the problem for you? It never does. Worrying blocks you from enjoying other aspects of your life; it blocks you from seeing solutions to that problem when they do appear. It clouds everything else in your life like a dark cloud.

  It’s hard not to worry. Ever prayed to God about it, trust Him to solve it and let go? I know that’s hard because sometimes you pray for weeks, months, years etc. That’s where your faith comes in. Let go and let God.

  If you are not Christian or you are and thoughts of your problem keeps coming back, push it far from your mind, find other things to occupy you and more pleasant things to think about. If the thought of the problem enters your mind when you are not thinking about it, that’s the worry monster knocking. Think if you have solutions for it, if there is none, say “I can’t do anything about you so; I refuse to worry about you. Things will get better someday soon.”

  Truth is when one problem in life gets solved, another might still come. You shouldn’t keep worrying yourself to death, all through your life. Tough times never last. Be a warrior not a worrier.

 Don’t be a worrier, it gets you absolutely nowhere. This is a reminder to me and to you reading.

 Thank you for reading my thoughts. What are yours?
