WORRY THE OTHER SIN
I HAD TO DO THIS!
Worrying is defined as…
Mental distress or agitation caused by concern. So concern in its extreme position leads to worry. Obviously we are far too concerned…or are we? Is it our concern or is it the things we concern ourselves with?
“Control the things you can” a diluted version of the SERENITY mantra that a fellow peer of mine always used. I heed those words diligently. The past is a faction of our lives we cannot undo yet the majority of our worry is there. Now here is the one I’m more susceptible to, the future. What will I do with this part of my life and that part of my life?
The incessant ramblings in my head can cause a heart attack. Now lets look at the “REALITY”, my past is just that, long gone and never to get back…THANK GOD! I have no future, today is all I have nothing more nothing less. Can I plan for the future? Of course. But worrying gets me nowhere. Can I check myself and not repeat the mistakes of my past? I had better. But in the end its just me and today.
Worrying is regret getting the better of you. It is in its most concentrated form the person you are, battling the person you want to be. I for one to those whom I know as friends in 360 and the world I love the person you are. I appreciate the person you want to be. I will support the person you are trying to correct…that would be yourself.
Now worry, can we see it? Is it the weight we have or the weight we gain because of the weight we know others can see. Is it the way we want to be with someone or is it the way we act because we are not with whom we want to be with. Is it our jobs or the way we act at them because we are not at the career we wish to be in. Those questions speak to an internal battle that I thought our elders “BABY DON’T BOTTLE EVERYTHING UP INSIDE OR YOULL BURST” told us. How many of us burst, knowing full well it was not what we wanted to say or at least not the right time to say it. That is what worry does for you…YOU BECOME THE ENEMY. You betray the one person you should always love…YOURSELF. Because you don’t like you at this moment you seek punishment for your own crimes, instead of trying to rehabilitate yourself. Healing in my opinion starts with a confession to yourself and then to those you love and seek support from. Then YOU can forgive you. SO IS IT CONFESSIONAL TIME?

I think we are more concerned about others because we all fall under the same sky. You tent to worry about things that you have no control over, that is just human nature. It sometimes helps you build your own character structure..
