Worry empties Today of it's Strength

Worry does not empty tomorrow of its sorrow, it empties today of its strength.

― Corrie Ten Boom

Too many times we spend our time, thoughts and energy on worrying - especially when life gets stressful. We stress about things that we cannot control such as what the future holds. We worry about growing old, about money, family, work, and love. We worry especially about what other people think and say about us.

Worrying gives one the impression that we are being productive, however, it can be so very destructive. Don't let anxiety consume you.

We need to be able to view life in perspective as worry can take a toll on your health. It is really important to be able to manage stress.

I hope that the quotes below help you to apply the correct perspective to your current situation and cope with whatever stressful situation you are going through.

Remember you are not alone! 🌹

People become attached to their burdens sometimes more than the burdens are attached to them.

– George Bernard Shaw

Instead of worrying about what you cannot control, shift your energy to what you can create.

― Roy T. Bennett

― Steve Maraboli

Do not anticipate trouble, or worry about what may never happen.

Keep in the sunlight.

― Benjamin Franklin

Drag your thoughts away

from your troubles...

by the ears, by the heels,

or any other way you can manage it.

― Mark Twain

Worry a little bit every day and in a lifetime you will lose a couple of years. If something is wrong, fix it if you can. But train yourself not to worry. Worry never fixes anything.

― Mary Hemingway

I think anxiety is dangerous, but it makes you think it’s your friend.
