Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. — Matthew 6:34
I shouldn't worry about things I can't change. But we all do, don't we? We get stuck in our head mulling over the events of the day like some bad rerun on television. We can't help ourselves. Why do we relive such muck when we could be envisioning a bright and wonderful future where everything we ever wanted existed?
I don't know if I completely buy into The Secret but the basic principles seem to be sound. Everything that's coming into your life is there because you're attracting it to you like a big human-shaped magnet. If you think worrisome thoughts, you'll attract things to yourself that you can worry about. And conversely, if you think blissful, happy, loving thoughts a majority of the time, you'll attract like things to yourself.
It's all about how you think and where you put your focus and intention.
So, let's go back to the beginning of this inspiration. If you worry about things you can't change, you'll bring things you can't change into your life. ACK! I don't want that. I have enough of that.
Instead, why don't you focus on things you enjoy doing and maybe you'll attract that into your life instead.
It's funny how just writing this stuff down makes me feet better, more optimistic, like the burden has been lifted. This focusing on the good stuff really does work.
My prayer for you today is to keep your focus on the positive, life-affirming things in your world instead of the negative, bad things. You'll feel much better if you do.
The secret is to just do it! :)
[ Do Not Worry ] “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life ? ... — Matthew 6:25-34
