Worry

Worry eats your energy and robs your peace of mind It brings about anxiety so you cannot unwind It takes away your happiness, it steals away your joy And left unchecked eventually your health it will destroy So learn to stop the worry as it only serves you harm And make the time to meditate to find your inner calm For your mind is the driving force in how you will progress And so that inner chatter is the thing you must address Your thoughts can either set you free or keep you chained in fear So take back all your power and make worry disappear

Wise words, Anne, we would all do well to adopt. As the old adage goes, thought, like fire, is a good slave but a bad master.

Thank you Unseeking for your visit and kind feedback. Not an easy feat to transcend the ego mind but life would be so much better if we could. Takes work, I know. Enjoy your weekend my friend :-)
