"Don't worry about the world
coming to an end today. It's already tomorrow in Australia."
~Charles Schultz
Good morning!
Thanks Rosemary
for this cute quote by "Snoopy Creator," Charles Schultz! As you wrote
in your email to me, with challengers all over the world now, this is
especially relevant. All we have to do is look across the ocean and
someone is already in tomorrow! For me, this quote brings
home two important points. (1) How quickly a day goes by and (2) How
unhelpful it is to spend our time worrying.
Worrying doesn't "feel good." It
makes us anxious and stress-filled. So why do we do it in the first
place? Worrying, like many negative emotions is a defense mechanism. We
worry to protect ourselves from "what might happen." We worry in order
to avoid taking "the next step."
However, like many defense
mechanisms, "worry" doesn't protect us, instead it creates a wall that
blocks off possibility. Worry invites us to be immobile, to "stay
still," to wait "for a better time." However, life isn't lived behind
a wall. Life is lived out in the wide-open when we take chances and
chase down dreams. When we use worry as a wall in our world, we not
only block out our fear of "what might happen," but we also block out
the good.
I have shared before the
statistic that 98% of what we worry about never happens. Yet when we
spend our time worrying, we also ensure that 98% of what we want out of
life won't happen.
Your turn:
Where have you been using "worry" to hide from
life? Today, take a step toward knocking down that wall and seeing how
beautiful it is on the other side.
Your affirmation:
I climb over worry and into joy.
