Worry Myths

While I try to always be as orginal as is possible, this was a list from The Complete Idiot's Guide to Zen Living that I could not resist sharing. Read it. It's a very user friendly book that is well done.

Worry makes me a conscientious person. Wrong!

Worry makes me a person. Wrong!

If I don't worry, I'm heartless. Wrong!

If I don't worry, I'm not a good parent/child/sibling/friend. Wrong!

If I dont worry, bad things will automatically happen. Wrong!

If I don't worry, others will have to worry. Wrong!

If I don't worry, I won't get the job done. Wrong!

You mean...worry is a waste of precious life energy? Right!"
