FUTILITY OF WORRY

Worry is futile because there are many
factors other than our capability that
determine the outcome of what we do.
We cannot control even our own
breath. We cannot say with certainty
whether we will take the next breath.
What arrogance it is then to think that
we can determine our future or the
outcome of our actions! Worry and
irritation are pointless and make you
powerless. Worry, anxiety and irritation
dissolve once we settle into the
present, the space of completion. Only
in the present are we in a position to
influence our actions and the
immediate outcome of those actions.
When we settle into the present,
thoughts cease and worry and irritation
disappear.
