Why Worry

Why worry about tomorrow, when it lessen your efficiency for tomorrow
Why worry about tomorrow, when it’s pure waste of energy
Why worry about yesterday, when it’s long gone
Why worry about yesterday, when today is your precious possession

For all worry does is to sap today of its joy
Robs tomorrow of its happiness
Oh why worry?
When little bits of worry everyday in a lifetime
Leads to a loss of couples of years

Say no to worry
For worry cripples the mind and never fix anything
Henceforth, rather than worrying
A day at a time you should live
Wisely and earnestly, live every present moment
With less anticipation of trouble!!

It worries me to think of not anticipating trouble...haha. Hope for the best, but plan for the worst, right? ;) I enjoyed your write, and I think there is some wisdom in knowing when to worry, and when to simply, let it go. Thanks for posting this. -G
