WHY AND HOW WE WORRY?
This text was machine-transcribed from the printed book and may contain errors. Select the words and choose “Report a mistake”.
Worry is what happens when you constantly compare yourself against external frames of reference and continuously chatter to yourself about it. Over time, this sets in as your mental make-up.
Your very mental make-up becomes worry. You will think:
“Am I doing as well as my neighbours?
How can I impress my boss?
What will my children think?”
All the time, we need to get approval from others – whether it is family or work or society. This is a major portion of our worry.
Our whole life is nothing but a process of collecting certificates.
