TINY MATTERS
“What lies behind us and what lies before us are
tiny matters compared to what lies within us.”
?? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ?Ralph Waldo Emerson
“We have nothing to fear but fear itself”
?? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ?Franklin Delano Roosevelt
“We suffer more in our imagination than in reality.”
?? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ?Seneca
“No amount of worry is going to change what will happen.”
?? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ?Alan Watts
We beat ourselves up over what is in the past, looking through our
retro scope with feelings of guilt and regret. We stress, worry, and fear
what may or may not happen in the future. We must plan and prepare
for the future for sure, but what we have within us, what we have in the
present, in the now is really the only thing we are guaranteed and have
control over. If we focus on what we have at our fingertips, what is in
front of us now, not worrying about what can be stressful distractions,
fretting over stuff that may never come to fruition. There is no solution
or fix like doing the work. Stress is like a weight: when we pick it up
and do the work, we get stronger. So too does our internal fortitude.
Find the drive and follow that feeling.
