“I walked slowly out on the beach. A few yards below high-water mark I stopped and read the words again: WRITE YOUR WORRIES ON THE SAND. I let the paper blow away, reached down and picked up a fragment of shell. Kneeling there under the vault of the sky, I wrote several words, one above the other. Then I walked away, and I did not look back. I had written my troubles on the sand. The tide was coming in.” WritingLooksWaterWorryWrittenTroubleSkyPaperMarkAdversityDown AndBlowBeachSandTidesShellsYardsFragmentsVaultsKneeling Author:Arthur Gordon Webster
“The best recipe for happiness and contentment I've seen is this: dig a big hole in the garden of your thoughts and put into it all your disillusions, disappointments, regrets, worries, troubles, doubts, and fears. Cover well with the earth of fruitfulness. Water it from the well of contentment. Sow on top the seeds of hope, courage, strength, patience, and love. Then when the time for gathering comes, may your harvest be a rich and fruitful one.” WellsMayBigsEarthHappinessWaterWorryRichDoubtTroubleRegretGardenAnd LoveDisappointmentSeedsHolesContentmentHarvestRecipesGatheringDisillusionCourage StrengthPatience And LoveFruitfulnessDoubt And FearHope Courage Book:Staying Up, Up, Up in a Down, Down World: Daily Hope for the Daily Grind Source: Staying Up, Up, Up in a Down, Down World: Daily Hope for the Daily Grind
“A risk-free life is far from being a healthy life. To begin with, the very word "risk" implies worry, and people who worry about every bite of food, sip of water, the air they breathe, the gym sessions they have missed, and the minutiae of vitamin doses are not sending positive signals to their cells. A stressful day sends constant negative messaging to the feedback loop and popping a vitamin pill or choosing whole wheat bread instead of white bread does close to zero to change that.” PeopleDoeWholeLife IsWaterWhiteWorryRiskAirHealthyNegativeConstantBreatheBreadCellsZeroGymBitesSignalsFeedbackPillsSessionStressfulDoseWheatVitaminsLoopsHealthy LifePoppingMinutiaeFree LifeWhite BreadStressful Day Author:Deepak Chopra
“It is utterly soothing to fly fish for trout. All other considerations or worries drift away and you couldn't keep them close if you wanted. Perhaps it's standing thigh deep in a river with the water passing at the exact but varying speed of life. You easily recognize this mortality and it dissipates into the landscape.” IfsWantedWaterWorrySeaStandingRiversFishesSpeedPassingPassingsBoatLandscapeLakesConsiderationFishingMortalitySoothingThighsTrout Book:True North Source: True North

“When the media worries about what Hillary’s hair looks like or what my hair looks like, that’s a real problem. We have millions of people who are struggling to keep their heads above water, who want to know what candidates can do to improve their lives, and the media will very often spend more time worrying about hair than the fact that we’re the only major country on earth that doesn’t guarantee health care to all people.” PeopleKnowsWantLooksRealCountryFactsProblemCareEarthWaterCan DoMillionsWorryStruggleMediaHairMajorsHealth CareCandidatesGuaranteesMore TimeReal Problems Author:Bernie Sanders
