I spent a few hours browsing and reading in the university bookstore yesterday after the weekly Spanish conversation group on campus. One of the books I spent some time with was a wonderful small volume called Saying Yes to Life , that contained the following statement...

Facing our addiction to worry is more useful than resolving the specific content of our worries.

Seems like pretty good advice, since the content of most worries is obsessive and unresolvable! One need only browse the rich assortment of quotes about worry to appreciate the futility of most worry.



"The secret of health for both mind and body is not to mourn for the past,
not to worry about the future, or not to anticipate troubles,
but to live in the present moment wisely and earnestly." Buddha
