quotations about worry & worrying

The longer I have followed Jesus, the more I have experienced him lifting worry's weight from my soul. Increasingly, I view worry as a cue to pray, choosing to trust my Heavenly Father and to thank him.

Don't worry, be happy.

BOBBY MCFERRIN

"Don't Worry, Be Happy"


Worrying ... is always useless. It is a form of inner considering--i.e. of identifying. It is a continual mixing up of negative imagination with a few facts and so makes only wrong connections.

MAURICE NICOLL

Psychological Commentaries on the Teaching of Gurdjieff and Ouspensky


If something worries you, check it out. Do what you can, take care of what you can, and then let it go. At this point, having done all you can, worrying about the issue doesn't do you any good. You could be using that energy in other ways to help you feel better.

Worry is different from fear. If fear is like a raging fever, worry is a low-grade temperature. It nags at us, simmers in our souls, hovers in the back of our minds like a faint memory. We may fear certain realities, like death; we worry about vague possibilities. Worry distracts us more than paralyzes us. It is like a leaky faucet we never get around to fixing.

All humans worry. If we didn't worry, we might take dangerous risks and pay a steep price. Worrying is normal in our lives and has an important function. However, worrying becomes a problem when you do it too often and for no good reason.

Worry is the secret weapon perpetrated upon us by the dark forces of the world that lurk in the shape of fear, uncertainty, confusion, and loss. We, on the other hand, have our own secret weapon against these incorporeal fiends. It is laughter.

Worry is a thin stream of fear trickling through the mind. If encouraged, it cuts a channel into which all other thoughts are drained.

Worry is our happiness-eater.

NIKKI GEMMELL

"Is it worth the worry?", The Australian, March 4, 2017


Worrying is not fun; worrying is very draining. Ever notice how during and after you've worried over something, how very drained you feel both mentally and physically? Worrying is very detrimental to the human body. This is called stress, and stress will either mutate or kill the very cells of your physical body.
