I’ve noticed a few people worrying recently.
- An email newsletter from a friend who works for global climate change and consciousness who was getting angry and concerned for out planet’s future.
- A facebook posting from someone concerned with getting blamed at work the next day for something not their responsibility.
- Myself about money or how a friend might react by my setting a boundary.
- A friend in my online video game who worries about whether our club is heading the “right” direction for her.
- A friend upset about an argument she had with a man she loves but who will not free himself to commit to her.
So much worry. So much planning for the worst to happen.
Admittedly, I worry far less than I ever have now. What a blessing! And when it does come up in me, I can feel it sooner and begin to make new choices in perspective almost immediately (as I wrote about the other day)
I know it’s just fear and not seeing the world from the most loving, abundant perspective possible. But I sense that many people see it as fact in their lives.
Think about this for a moment. If what you worry about is fact, then you are a slave to that happening. Then every other piece of life that is connected to that item of worry is potentially effected in an adverse domino effect, rippling out from that one event to many others. And suddenly over night, life sucks!
Why do we worry, when in the face of such a life-devastating dynamic we loose our power and freedom to be vibrant and alive creators. Instead, we become fearful or angry zombies who feel powerless and helpless. And yet WE’RE NOT!
I know it’s hard to believe for some people, but Well-Being truly does abound. I know it as fact that there is only Love and Abundance and that Well-Being — mine, yours, ours, the planets — is a given, assured, guaranteed and inevitable.
When you begin to believe this, you will begin to see this as true — see clear cut evidence of it — and feel better in the process.
This is why I’ve made it a practice to look for reasons to feel good — even in the face of a potentially devastating or disappointing outcome. And I do this simply for one reason. I wish to feel good. As good as I can in any given moment.
After all, worrying is just a form of planning. So is appreciation. And I choose appreciation. I choose planning for the best or even better.
