Worry-free living can be ours. Worry is merely an option. Take a lesson from our children. Toss your worries onto your Father. Then go outside and play.

Worrying is not looking for a solution, but just reviewing the "problem" over and over.

The Sky's the Limit: Go for the Gold!
Worry is an unproductive, useless form of fear, and that makes it, by definition, unhealthy.

Worry is like a stream of fear trickling through man's mind, which if not controlled will flood and drown all other thoughts in the mind and overtakes the mind entirely.

Many of us worry because we have problems we wish we could solve. Worrying itself doesn't solve those problems, although it can make us feel a little more prepared.

Worrying is the magical thinking that worrying can prevent disaster. Worrying is anxiety in control. Worrying is belief in anxiety as some kind of god. Worrying is making stress and conflict now for imagined stress and conflict in the future. Worrying mistakes anxiety for action.

Attitude Is All You Need!
Worrying is not fun; worrying is very draining. Ever notice how during and after you've worried over something, how very drained you feel both mentally and physically? Worrying is very detrimental to the human body. This is called stress, and stress will either mutate or kill the very cells of your physical body.

How can a person deal with anxiety? You might try what one fellow did. He worried so much that he decided to hire someone to do his worrying for him. He found a man who agreed to be his hired worrier for a salary of $200,000 per year. After the man accepted the job, his first question to his boss was, "Where are you going to get $200,000 per year?" To which the man responded, "That's your worry."

One of the worst features about worrying is that it destroys our ability to concentrate. When we worry, our minds jump here and there and everywhere, and we lose all power of decision. However, when we force ourselves to face the worst and accept it mentally, we then eliminate all these vague imaginings and put ourselves in a position in which we are able to concentrate on our problem.

I am an old man and have known a great many troubles, but most of them have never happened.

Worry depletes you of vitality, enthusiasm, joy and peace. Worriers don't have much enthusiasm for living, as they can think of too many perils that might occur.
