"Some of the hurts you have cured, and the sharpest you still have survived. But what torments of grief you've endured, from evil which never arrived!"
Emerson said this, and this is becoming one of my favorite quotes. When a friend of mine was visiting, he was so good at living in the NOW and not worrying about the past or future. I'm finding that the less I worry about the future, the better the future becomes.
Really, what reasons are there to worry about something that may or may not happen. And really, what is GUARANTEED to happen? Not much of anything, really. So why is so much grief spent on worrying about bills, or relationships, or promotions.
I'm grateful that the future I paint is rarely what actually happens. If that were the case, doom and gloom would be prevalent wayyyy to much and there wouldn't be as many fun times as there really are.
I'm grateful that I have less stress because I'm not worrying about other people, and even more importantly, I'm not worrying about myself.
