WORRY CHANGES THE LIGHT IN OUR LIVES TO DARKNESS. THE ONLY WAY TO OVERCOME DARKNESS IS TO TURN ON THE LIGHT. THE LIGHT DISSIPATES THE DARKNESS LIKE THE SUN DISSIPATES THE MIST. All of us worry. Many of these worries are of short duration and go away with little effort. But when worry persists, it can rob us of vitality, enthusiasm and energy and can lead to physical and mental breakdowns. Doctors point out that chronic worry is behind numerous diseases such as asthma, allergies, cardiac trouble, high blood pressure, and a host of other illnesses too numerous to mention. The worried mind is confused, divided, and is thinking aimlessly about a lot of things that are not true. We can push worry out by training our minds to focus on harmony, peace, beauty, right action, love and understanding—by supplanting negative thoughts with constructive thoughts.
