Hey, does it seem like things are going at breakneck speed to you?

Everyday with everything that is happening in the world, that really does effect all of us in one way or another, it seems like there is just not enough time to get everything done.  Today, my mother wants to plant a garden, I need to get more book signings booked, need to fix the weed eater before the grass becomes a hay field, need to make some important calls, wash my car and clean it which I haven’t done in months, get my camper ready for a trip, stack the wood at my folks place, get things ready for my sister’s arrival, get my father’s present for Father’s day ready, write this blog, contact my publicist, etc, etc, etc.  I think I need several clones. 

They haven’t stopped the Oil yet.  Damn!

Have you heard about the behind the scenes goings on with Hillary?  They are planning to take away our 2nd amendment rights.

Tornado’s and storms are causing havoc.

It all seems a bit much today.

That is why I’m going to insert a piece of prose that I wrote some time ago in this blog today.  Hope you enjoy it and can find a little time to relax in your life.  I’m going to hurry off now and get my “to do” list started.

This is from my writings called “Contem-Plato.”

Worry.    Why?

Has worry brought you to a better space?  

To worry about anything, you have to assume there is something wrong.

If you are contributing a lot of thought to what may happen, you may be supporting the idea to the extent of bringing it on.

The fallacy in assuming anything, takes you out of the moment and leads to an unhealthy prevalence of stress.

If something is wrong, no amount of worry will make it right.  Focusing on the negative aspects of anything worrisome will only cause the negatives to loom larger.

How many times have you worried about some particular problem or circumstance, only to find that you’ve wasted a lot of time and energy you could have used to improve some other facet of your life or the life of others?

If you can buy into the idea that everything begins with a thought, then, the thought process can either manifest the problem you are worrying about, or embrace the problem as an opportunity.

To worry is a waste.   To focus on a creative solution will keep you in the moment and help you find an answer.  If you deduce that no amount of worrying will change the problem, then embrace the thought for just a moment and let it go.

If you can’t change it, it is not worthy of focusing your time and energy to make it more of a problem.

There is so much more gratification in focusing on that which we can change than to spend any of our precious time here worrying about something we can’t change.

If you can’t fix it in five seconds, don’t worry about it.

Be careful what you focus your thoughts on, for everything you think about in a very serious manner and really desire to have in your life will be manifest.

You can use this to your advantage and manifest miracles in your life and the lives of those you hold dear.

Worry…… Why? Effect change in a positive way?  Why not?!
