It causes you emotional distress which prevents you from being at your best and contributing at the levels you're capable of. Instead of worrying, focus on accepting what is out of your control, and actively changing all that you can.” PersonsCausesLevelsAcceptingWorryFocusEmotionalGratitudeCapableDestructiveLoved OnesDistressContributingAccepting What Is Author:Hal Elrod
