Anxiety comes too easily to most people. A slight bit of uncertainty becomes a mountain of worry. And it all comes crashing down upon us.
There is so much we carry around on our backs. It is a wonder the life expectancy can be so high. Stress builds steadily until you collapse.
Even when understandable, fear tends to be exaggerated. Everything is not falling apart. Rather, one or two matters may need to be addressed.
Drama kings and queens abound. And everyone is subjected to their conceits. The only place they lead others is into their world of misery.
We must learn to distinguish between our needs and wants. The former are required for mere survival. But the latter should always be earned.
The attention we crave does not make us royalty. Though the pain we cause might make it seem so. Such are only pretenders to the throne.
I think a lot of people get caught up in worrying because we are expected to. We see other people doing it and think it is normal. Worrying was never meant to be normal.
ReplyDeleteWe worry because we fear what can happen. We make things worse by dwelling on the possibilities. When people worry together, the misery is multiplied.
DeleteAnxiety and fear are tools of the enemies of humanity. If we let these emotions overtake us we will never be able to live up to our potential. Drama is often the result of those who are insignificant believing they are, small problems can seem huge to the vain.
ReplyDeleteIt is amazing how molehills can be turned into mountains. The anxiety builds until the weight is crushing. We become our own worst enemy.
