Worry
When I think back…
there have always been reasons why I didn’t follow through with so many things I wish I had finished. Always. But what was really happening all those times wasn’t what I wanted it to seem, it was always just my attempt at finding any rationalization I could, any excuse, to allow myself to fail. Again.
I see it every day I go to work, every day I look at the world, every time I look at some thing I’ve started, but never finished, the worry that keeps me, us, from taking a chance, from stepping beyond what we’re sure of into the unknown.
Worry is a poison, born of fear, that supplies us with a never ending list of things that “might” go wrong. It doesn’t, and never will, make tomorrow one bit better than today, in fact, it robs us of our will to make tomorrow any better, it buries our dreams and hopes so deeply that they won’t be able to grow. It robs us of our chance to find out if we can be happy.
It makes me wonder…
why is it that there are so many ways that we are told “what we should” be worried about.
