“Worry is when you choose from millions of possible thoughts, only the few which deal with a potential misfortune or problem. Once you accept your worrying as the act of choosing specific thoughts, you can consciously make an effort to avoid those thoughts that cause you needless pain and choose more constructive, positive thoughts.” ProblemPainCausesDealsEffortAcceptingMillionsWorryMisfortunesYou ChooseAnticipationPositive ThoughtsConstructive Author:Zelig Pliskin
“No one can liberate you, for no one has bound you; you hold on to the nettle of worldly pleasures and you weep for pain. The kite is pursued by the crows so long as it carries the fish in its beak, it twists and turns in the sky trying to last and it drops the fish. That moment it is free. So give up the attachment to the senses; then grief and worry can harass you no more.” GivingTryingLongMomentsPainLastsTurnsPleasureGriefWorrySkyGiving UpBoundsFishesSensesCarrieAttachmentThat MomentWorldlyTwistsPursuedCrowKitesBeaksTwists And TurnsNettlesWorldly Pleasures Author:Sathya Sai Baba
“as we acquire new aches and new pains, our health care is, of necessity, being supplied by internists, cardiologists, dermatologists, podiatrists, urologists, periodontists, gynecologists and psychiatrists, from all of whom we want a second opinion.

“One cannot be honest even at the end of one's life, for no one is wholly alone. We are bound to those we love, or to those who love us, and to those who need us to be brave, or content, or even happy enough to allow them not to worry about us. So we must refrain from giving pain, as our last gift to our fellows.” NeedsGivingEndsEnoughPainLastsWorryHonestFellowsBraveBoundsBeing HonestBe BraveDiscretionRefrainThose We Love Author:Florida Scott-Maxwell
“If you're feeling pain, express that to the Lord. If you're feeling worried, express those worries.

“I worry about fast forgivers. They tend to forgive quickly in order to avoid their pain. Or they forgive fast in order to get an advantage over the people they forgive. And their instant forgiving only makes things worse... People who have been wronged badly and wounded deeply should give themselves time and space before they forgive... There is a right moment to forgive. We cannot predict it in advance; we can only get ourselves ready for it when it arrives... Don't do it quickly, but don't wait too long.” PeopleGivingShouldLongHas BeensMomentsPainOrderWaitingSpaceWorryReadyForgivenessAdvantageForgivingInstantWoundedTime And SpaceRight MomentWronged Author:Lewis B.

“The mind is trained from a very young age to think that life moves from one worry to the other or from one pain to another, never from one joy to another.
