Worrying Quotes

“More smiling, less worrying. More compassion, less judgment. More blessed, less stressed. More love, less hate.”

“But I cannot be worrying-worrying all the time about the truth. I have to worry about the truth that can be lived with. And that is the difference between losing your marbles drinking the salty sea, or swallowing the stuff from the streams. My Niece-of-Shame believes in the talking cure, eh?" says Alsana, with something of a grin. "Talk, talk, talk and it will be better. Be honest, slice open your heart and spread the red stuff around. But the past is made of more than words, dearie. We married old men, you see? These bumps"--Alsana pats them both --"they will always have daddy-long-legs for fathers. One leg in the present, one in the past. No talking will change this. Their roots will always be tangled. And roots get dug up. Just look in my garden - birds at the coriander every bloody day...”

“Rather than worrying about work, schedules, and deadlines, I felt at peace with God. He was in control. The world at large would not crumble because I turned off my iPhone.

“Still the mind by practising daily silence periods. The mind has to stop its constant chattering. And must fall silent. This does not mean you will not have thoughts arising in your mind. This means you must learn not to pick up worrisome, fearful, angry, anxious thoughts. And instead train your mind to think abundant, thankful, thoughts celebrating the now. When you are in the present moment, the mind is powerless. The mind, interestingly, can control you only when it is trapped in memories (often of pain, grief, guilt, anger) of the dead past or has raced into the unborn future (and is worrying and anxious). The mind really thrives only in the past or in the future. In the present, it holds no power. The secret to Happiness lies in training the mind to constantly be in the present moment.”

“On the road to success there is absolutely no room for criticism of self or others. Insecurity and fear masquerade as jealousy and judgment. Finding faults in others wastes time as we attempt to remove the bricks from other people’s foundations – time that could be better spent building our own. And worrying about what other people think about us also wastes the time that could be better spent expanding upon what we have built.”

“7 Rules to a Happy Life: 1. Be humble 2. Don’t worry 3. Don't settle for less 4. Mind your business 5. Work hard 6. Play hard 7. Be nice”

“None of them had been worried about him, and the Sullivans were a family who believed that worry could prevent catastrophe. Teddy thought this belief was somehow tied into their Catholicism and guilt, though he wasn't exactly sure how. It had been drilled into him - if you worried about a car crash, you would arrive safely. If you were extra careful about locking your doors, you would never be robbed. Always call when you get home. Update everyone on your whereabouts. The worrying would keep you safe.”
