We are going to challenge ourselves to
take on a spiritual
principle of not worrying.
Briefly lets remind ourselves…
why we shouldn’t worry.
“If your eyes are blindly be your
worries, you can not see the
sunset.”Jiddu Krishnamurti
Once you accomplish the task of putting
aside worrying… then something occurs to you…
should I be worried that I’m
not worrying enough?
Let us move on to a place of talking
about more than just our own worrying
about ourselves and circumstances… and
consider as a spiritual principle -
the power of not worrying.
And imagine what we could offer the
world in that spiritual place…
“Worry is an addiction that interferes with compassion”
~Deng Ming-Dao

Worry is a choice we make.
A choice we make to give our
energy to something negative.
That the birds of worry and care fly
over your head, this you cannot change, but that
they build nests in your hair, this you
can prevent. ~Chinese Proverb
There are lots thing to worry about choose not to worry about them…. And don’t worry that you aren’t worrying enough
We have replaced action and compassion with worry. And thus
become convinced that worry itself is an
action, that it’s the smart thing to do… that
we are bad parents, bad planners,
unaware of reality, less intelligent,
if we do not worry.
But think of what you are putting out
there…. More worry….
worry is contagious, do you actually
need to add more worry to your life?
Beware of worriers or people who feed your fears. Be aware of the fact that your worrying
can impact your children and others around you. Don’t
spread your worrying. “If things go wrong,
don't go with them.” ~Roger Babson
The world does not need more
worry… the world needs
compassion….Take on the
spiritual task of having compassion for people around
you.
Now I’ve already got you worrying about your ability
to do that….Here’s some
advice..
“I keep the telephone of my mind open to peace, harmony, health,
love and abundance. Then, whenever doubt, anxiety or fear try to call me, they keep
getting a busy signal - and soon they'll forget my
number.” ~Edith Armstrong
Stop answering the call to worry…
Answer the call to love, to accept those around you…to feel
compassion and thus to bring to the world
the peace it so desperately needs.
