How To Overcome Worry In Your Life
Worry is a symptom of a much bigger issue
“Worry does not empty tomorrow of its sorrow, it empties today of its strength.” — Corrie Ten Boom
I used to worry about a lot of things. Frivolous things mostly. I would worry about my health, if people like me, what the future would hold if I was doing a good job at work or school.
It was overwhelming and exhausting.
I came to the conclusion that I was actually feeling an attack from worry. That it was some unseen force that would take hold of a small worry and then start piling on other things.
Some of these worries were not all that important.
Yet, I worried. As I began to dig deeper into my worries. I started realizing something, the worry was a symptom to a much deeper problem. The problem, it turns out plagues many of us too. What is it?
We try to control everything.
When we run into things we can’t control, we begin to worry about them. We also worry about the things we can control and become paralyzed in moving toward our dreams.
