Don’t Worry!
Of all human emotions, worry
is perhaps the least useful and serves no purpose at all, except causing
unnecessary anxiety and developing a depressive mood. The problem with worry is
that it focuses on an imaginary future.
According to Lao Tzu, “Care about what other people
think and you will always be their prisoner.”
Seeking success and avoiding failure are no more than pride
and fear; they are only expressions of the human conditions erroneously
perceived by the human mind.
“Success is avoiding failure; avoiding failure is seeking
success.
Both originate from fear and pride: the source of human
suffering.”
(Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching, Chapter
13)
According to TAO, everything
follows the natural order of things; that is, everything is in its proper place
and will work out the way it is supposed to work out, irrespective of your
worrying and regardless of your deliberate interference to make things happen
the way you want them to happen.
Remember, worrying will never change the outcome. According to Lao Tzu, if you water your dreams with
worry and fear, you will produce weeds; if you water your dreams with optimism
and solutions, you will cultivate growth and success. Remember, you manifest
not what you want but what you are and what you think
Worry is one of the negative
human emotions responsible for human depression.
