Worry on Your Mind?

Posted on 16. Jan, 2008 by Karen in Misc

What did you worry about today?  Were you able to let it go at some point?  If not, here’s a quote I heard this week that may help put a different perspective on your worries:

Worry is like sitting in a rocking chair.  It’s something to do but doesn’t get you anywhere.

    While the day is clearly not over, I already had something to worry about, which I have now relinquished. Something else may be on the horizon. Today I had a wonderful encounter with an 89-year-old (soon to be 90) gentleman who works in my building. He always brings his special brand of philosophy when he comes to visit. Today was no exception. He brought this thoughtful story: One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people. He said, “My son, the battle is between two forces inside us all. One is Evil. It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance,self-pity, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority and ego. The other is Good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humanity, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, forgiveness and faith.” The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather: “Which wins?” The old Cherokee simply replied: “The one you feed.”
