Worries. For what?



Worries!  So worried!  Very worried!  "FOR NOTHING!"

Nothing is worth worrying for. What has to happen WILL happen  and our worrying about it is not going to change anything.   Sometimes we worry about things that will never happen.   But what to do?  We have fallen into the habit of worrying.  We worry for no reason and sometimes we even invent reasons to worry.  But worry we must!  It is so necessary.   

But what is worry?  Let us take a closer look at it.  
Yes it is a five letter word.  It starts with W, which is also the start of the word weight.  So here is a definition for worry.  Worry weighs us down.  Worry is a cloak that descends on our weak shoulders.  There you go!  Weak also starts with the letter W.  Worry weakens us.  Weighs us down.  The more we bend down with the cloak of worry,  the more it piles on us until we are unders layers of cloaks.  That's not it, there is more.  

Worries are iron shackles around our ankles and restrict our movements.   While we are already weighed down with cloaks, we are also tied up with chains.  We are helpless.  We CANNOT move forward and carry on with our lives.  We are just so worried.

Wait a minute!  Did it help us in any way?  Did it change anything for us?  Oh yes it did.  It slowed us down.  It stressed us out.  But led us nowhere.   It made us stand still while all the opportunities passed by us.  

Still worried?  Do not worry but hurry up and catch up with the journey of life.  A lot is awaiting us.  Let not worry stop us and block us.
