“We must learn to cast off our anxieties because we have so many of them. The world destroys spiritual life by generating constant anxiety. Jesus said that the life of the gospel is choked out by the cares of this world. We know this to be true yet we are more chained and tethered to the world than ever before in the human race.” KnowsWorldHumansSaidCareSpiritualJesusRaceThis WorldAnxietyConstantCastsBeing TrueHuman RaceSpiritual LifeChained Author:John Ortberg
“Cows in India occupy the same position in society as women did in England before they got the vote. Woman was revered but not encouraged. Her life was one long obstacle race owing to the anxiety of man to put pedestals at her feet. While she was falling over the pedestals she was soothingly told that she must occupy a Place Apart - and indeed, so far Apart did her place prove to be that it was practically out of earshot. The cow in India finds her position equally lofty and tiresome. You practically never see a happy cow in India.” MenLongFallRaceFeetPositionProveAnxietyVoteIndiaEnglandObstaclesCowsLoftyPedestalOwingTiresome Author:Stella Benson
“I always enjoyed the training more than I did the racing. There was a high level of anxiety in racing that I did not enjoy. Training runs set me FREE.

“I testify that no one of us is less treasured or cherished of God than another. I testify that He loves each of us—insecurities, anxieties, self-image, and all.

He cheers on every runner, calling out that the race is against sin, not against each other.” LooksSelfSinRaceTalentCallingAnxietyPossessionProfessionInsecurityCheerRunnersTreasuredSins Not Author:Jeffrey R.

“If you do have to look at polls, you should do it no more than once every few days, to get a general sense of the state of the race. I've seen the work on information overload, which makes people depressed, stressed and freezes their brains. I know that checking the polls constantly is a recipe for self-deception and anxiety.” PeopleIfsKnowsShouldLooksSelfStatesPoliticsRaceBrainInformationAnxietyDeceptionRecipesPollsStressedSelf DeceptionFreezeOverloadInformation Overload Author:David Brooks
“I had a lot of time to think, and that is not good for your mind. And when it actually happened, it was not so much a celebration but the relief. It was an exorcism anxiety.

“The game was that of continually inventing a possible world, or a piece of a possible world, and then of comparing it with the real world... a race without end... What mattered more than the answers were the questions... For me, this world of questions and the provisional, this chase after an answer that was always put off to the next day, all that was euphoric. I lived in the future... I had turned my anxiety into my profession.” WorldRealEndsNextGamesAnswersRacePiecesThis WorldIgnoranceAnxietyProfessionCompareReal WorldNext DayInventingEuphoric Author:Francois Jacob
