worry or know how not to


The future  looks uncertain,scary,hidden.we wouldn't be human if we didn't worry about things at times. We worry about our health,our parents/kids/friends,our relationships,our work and our spending... We worry that we're getting older,fatter,poorer,more tired,less attractive,less fit,less mentally alert,less everything really. We worry about things that matter and things that don't. Sometimes we worry about not worrying.
Look, sometimes it might be ok to "worry" so long there is something REALLY to worry about. What Jesus warned against is being overwhelmed with your worries which is anxiety. This is a total waste of time and energy for it is bereft of the ability to alleviate your worries,it is like chasing the wind.

please stay happy

No matter how much joy you have on the inside of you, sometimes through the inevitable unstable circumstances of life, you may not always feel happy. Your
happiness is very important to you and the things (not just people) around you. The wisest man on earth once said “A happy heart makes the face cheerful, but heart ache crushes the spirit.” Notwithstanding, your happiness is a choice. You cannot change the vicissitudes of life, but you can control how you react to things that happen to you. Alfred montepart says: “happiness depends not on things around me, but on my attitude; everything in my life will depend on my attitude.”`
Here are 4 actions you consciously pertinaciously choose to practice to reinforce your happiness:
1 LIVE. Exactly! That’s what I mean; LIVE! Pardon me if it sounds outright, blunt or rude. Some are merely lurking in life. They are 6 feet away from living. They are like dead fish flowing with the stream. One sage once said “few people are really living, many merely exist.” Not everything breathing is living, some merely exist. Trust me, there is no replay of this 1life Jesus died to give you in abundance, so you might as well decide to LIVE it well and live it RIGHT. “Wealth is the ability to experience life”- Henry David Thoreau.
