I worry more than I should about things I can't really change and I let a lot of things compile. Interesting post and made me think about my own spirituality and where I stand to learn and grown on it.  I thought I was laidback but I have realized that it’s not always the case.

So true. <strong>A</strong>: You make a lot of good points and I like your attitude. One of my ex-boytoys, the French Canadian one, shared your mindset. Basically: look at "negative" personality traits as a strength. I'm super impatient. But, the flipside of that is that I don't never stayed in bad jobs, relationships, etc. too long. I don't suffer well and I don't like to suffer long. So the worry + impatience = I'm motived to make constant tweaks and changes in my life to make sure I'm going after what I want. Granted, I might not ALWAYS know what I want at any given moment, but I try. <strong>dkzone</strong>: That was beautiful. :) <strong><a href="http://www.djednice.com/" rel="nofollow">DJ Ed Nice</a></strong>: Thanks! <strong>lamesabassman</strong>: I like the "once you realize your limitations, your possibilities are endless" stuff. <strong><a href="http://doodlius.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Baba Doodlius</a></strong>: Indeed it does :) <strong> <a href="http://www.energytalkradio.com/" rel="nofollow">energytalkradio</a></strong>: Risk and worry might not be related. I'm a risk-taker, but that doesn't mean I don't worry. Can't remember the exact quote but it's something like "bravery is action despite your fears." Trust me, they're still there; I just ignore them, move a head and worry later (if not throughout).
Keyona: “Let go and let live.” So true.

"Repent ye blasphemer!" Does that satisfy the Clash of Ideologies that you thought might happen? OK, here goes:

“There is no god!”

“Repent ye blasphemer!”

Does that satisfy the Clash of Ideologies that you thought might happen?

Worrying is a horrible problem to have, I know from personal experience and tend to worry about all kinds of random stuff. It's good that you recognize that it's a problem. It's gonna take you actively monitoring your thoughts to get control over it; but once you do... I'm glad you're getting it under control...

Like I have a personal packmule loaded down with the crap I worry about and carry around with me. BUt at the end of the day I know that I have to "keep going" .....so I just keep going. I get up by swinging my legs off the side of the bed and " getting on with it" . I do this because if I don't I'll lay there, in my bed, buried under it all. depression sux...so I carry around a smile with me... I help others with thier issues....and mine seem less daunting that way. Each day I look at you and read the tidbits of your life and think to myself...My God!! She leads the most amazing life. You remind me of that little boutique, with a 10ft wide storefront, down some less than traveled street. You walk in and find it's loaded with treasures and wonderous things. I have to believe that some day someone will walk down that street and discover you..... That is my hope, for you. I probably worry way more than the average guy.

Tue, 18 Aug 2009 16:11:53 +0000 http://funkybrownchick.com/?p=2214#comment-115361 I don't think worrying is so bad. Worrying about little day to day things doesn't burden me that much, but it keeps my memory active.  If I'm worried that I'll forget to do something, or be late for something, chances are I am going to remember and I'm going to be on time. In the longer term, worry is a valuable tool for motivating change.  If you're worried that your skills are becoming obsolete, for instance, you're more likely to take evening classes in your free time, and thus possibly change your situation in a few years.  I can honestly say that my biggest accomplishments were things I did because I was worried about the consequences of not doing them. Then there are the other worries, about things which are completely out of your control, such as illness or death.  Dwelling on these subjects is probably a bad idea, but it doesn't hurt to remember the inevitable future to keep daily life in perspective.  These sorts of worries can actually reduce how seriously you take the small worries. I don’t think worrying is so bad.
