As I get older, I have been coming to realize that worry, fear and anxiety are just completely worthless.
You are not who you were and you are not what you are going to be.
You are who you are right now.
Yes, you may have made some big mistakes and you have regrets but…
You are not there anymore!
You may be worked up over what is going to happen in the future, whether it be tomorrow, next week, or even 1 year from now but…
You are not there yet!
As I just said… you are who you are right now!
Yes, it is going to be tough especially if you have been dealing with these issues for quite some time but take your life one moment at a time, one day at a time.
The Bible says, “Can you add one hour to your life by worrying?” No, odds are you’re probably taking away one hour by worrying.
It also says, “Don’t worry about tomorrow. For tomorrow will take care of the things of itself”. And “Don’t boast about tomorrow for you don’t know what a day is going to bring”.
Just slow it down. Take it easy.
You may know people who get so worked up but that doesn’t mean you have to be.
They are not the best role models to have.
They are too wound up about their own lives anyway.
If you looking for someone to admire…
Admire the one who is calm and peaceful. The one who is happy and goes with the flow. The one who accepts what life brings because they know that they are not in control.
The one who knows life happens one day at a time.
Right now!
