Why Worry? Be Happy!

There are only two things in life to worry about:

Whether you are well
or whether you are sick.

If you are well,
then there is nothing to worry about.

But if you are sick,
there are only two things to worry about:

Whether you are going to get well
or whether you are going to die.

If you get well,
then there is nothing to worry about.

But if you die,
there are only two things to worry about:

Whether you are going to go to heaven
or whether you are going to go to hell.

If you go to heaven,
then you have nothing to worry about.

But if you go to hell,
you'll be so busy shaking hands with all your friends,
that you won't have time to worry!

So, Why Worry?

Be Happy

Do not cry if the Sun sets at the end of the day, because the tears will not let you enjoy the beauty of the Stars.

"If you cry because you can't see the sun, your tears will keep you from seeing the stars" ~ Rabindranath Tagore

Life is short, break the rules, forgive quickly, kiss slowly, love truly, laugh uncontrollably and never regret anything that made you smile!


Counteract Worry With Faith
You can actually make worry work for you. If worry attacks you, you may as well make use of it. Instead of letting worry be destructive turn it into a constructive use. Worry is an energy, a form of energy. When you worry you are using energy destructively. When you are practising faith you are using energy constructively. So make worry work for you. Make it work for you by letting it make you think straight.

To think straight is one of the greatest powers of a human being. God gave each of us a mind to use and to use properly. I believe it is as though He says to every individual, "I gave you a mind, and with it you can solve any problem you will ever have to face, and I will make you equal to anything through your mind." But if we worry the mind gets off balance. It gets hot and it will not correlate when it is hot. It needs to be cool, rational, in order to work well. So if now today, corporately and individually, we have the problem of worry and fear, the way to handle it, and to make worry work for us, is to tell ourselves that it is high time we did some sound thinking.
~ Dr Norman Vincent Peale, 1961


Every tomorrow has two handles: the handle of anxiety & the handle of faith.
Woe to the person who grabs hold of tomorrow by the wrong handle.
