NUGGETS OF WISDOM - 1509

 

• ·       “Worry is a form of fear, and all forms of fear produce fatigue.” ~ Bertrand Russell

  ·       “Our fatigue is often caused not by work, but by worry, frustration and resentment.” ~ Dale Carnegie

  ·       “If a problem is fixable, if a situation is such that you can do something about it, then there is no need to worry. If it’s not fixable, then there is no help in worrying. There is no benefit in worrying whatsoever.” ~ Tenzin Gyatso, 14th Dalai Lama

  ·       “Worry is irrelevant. It alters nothing. When was the last time you solved a problem by worrying about it?” ~ Max Lucado

  ·       “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 those vague imaginings and put ourselves in a position in which we are able to concentrate on our problem.” ~ Dale Carnegie

  ·       “Worrying, obsessing, and controlling are illusions. They are tricks we play on ourselves.” ~ Melody Beattie

  ·       “There is only one way to happiness and that is to cease worrying about things which are beyond the power of our will.” ~ Epictetus

  ·       “Do you remember the things you were worrying about a year ago? How did they work out? Didn’t you waste a lot of fruitless energy on account of most of them? Didn’t most of them turn out all right after all?” ~ Dale Carnegie
