There was a time that I was reading in the school library, a book about life. It's a religious book but instead of narrating everything whatever the Bible says, it tells you different short stories and poems about the realities of life.One poem caught my attention:
Worries, Worries, Worries
by Grenville Kleiser
He worried about the weather,
he worried about his health,
he worried about his business,
he worried about his wealth.
She worried about the children,
she worried about her clothes,
she worried about her neighbors,
she worried about her woes.
They worried about their taxes,
they worried about their pets,
they worried about their future,
they worried about their debts.
They worried, still they worried;
they worried, but alas!
They worried about a lot of things
that did not come to pass!
The poem is really entertaining AND it is very true. I just realized after reading it how much we depend on our Chicken Littles to drive us into our future in fear. "I don't know about you but I know I don't want a coward to lead me in my life--to lead my life." |
After reading the poem, I wonder if you still will continue to worry about everything? Or would you rather start to expect that everything will be fine? Or instead, take advantage of that fear and worries in your financial life and make your brain work up solutions on how to solve those things so that you can have more time to worry about the others...if you know what I mean.
