DOING MORE HARM THAN GOOD

in #life7 years ago (edited)

Little issues often weigh us down than bigger issues. They have the tendency of causing us to think more than we ought to . Any little issue we begin to ponder over and give it more attention gradually eats us up more than bigger issues.
We worry ourselves with things that are sometimes unimportant. There are things I believe you shouldn't give your self up to even focus or ponder over.

Why worry about things that haven't happened yet

Would you kill yourself If you were told by the doctors that you have few more days to live and you will die due to an ailments or a disease? I presume you wouldn't die before the set time. That's exactly the way we have to live our life. Things which haven't happened yet must not give you a reason to worry no matter how bad it seems. Do you know many people die even before their time? yea, a lot of people do. I heard of a story a story when a man was given a death sentence by a firing. This man couldn't sleep nor eat at all, he had always imagined how bad and how sad it would be, to end his life in such a disgraceful way.

He had thought about it daily, few months to his day of execution he was just a living death, a shadow of himself just hanging around.

On the day of execution the firing squad mistakenly took rubber bullets and fired at this convict. The firing squad then realised they used the wrong bullets but before they could fire the real bullets the man was already dead. So when did he die? what killed him? So sad. He died because of anxiety, excessive worry.

Why do you have to chew over things which haven't t yet happened. An intervention could avert any situation which is haunting you to death....Do you have faith? If you have then believe that anything is possible. Before anything you have thought to be worse happens, just enjoy the few moments you have hoping that even the worse situation could turn around for your good.

Do you know doctor's sometimes prescribes medicines for patients just to keep them from worrying? Anybody who feels sick and visits the hospital always feel something is wrong and wants to be diagnosed of something and given medication.

Sometimes it may just be a feeling of stress that requires only rest. When the doctors discover the problem to be lack of rest they intentionally admit patients so they can just rest. They know how people get worried once they visit the hospital to the treated. We don't go to the hospital for good report always, remember that.. just free yourself now. You may be digging your own grave unknowingly. You free yourself when you let the little worries go.

Why worry about things that will definitely come your way

Years ago, I used to think about marriage, having children, having an independent life and other issues pertinent to life. I realised I was doing much harm to myself than good. These things would definitely come my way. So why should I weigh myself down by them. This is not to say you shouldn't think and plan, you should but don't over do it especially when you know is something that is bound to happen in your life. Don't get weary with such issues.

One good thing to do at each phase of your life is to prepare for what's heading towards your direction. Anything good thing can skip an unprepared man, I believe this is why it is said that opportunity only comes to a prepared mind. yea, and it's very true.

If you know it will surely come your way, then stay calm and relax but prepare for it. Have you noticed that anytime you expect things to happen badly the time and the days even slows down surprisingly?

That alone will cause you to be confused and your worries intensified because you kept your expectations so high. In order not to be disappointed is better to keep your expectations low. You were disappointed and got hurt because you expected too much.

Don't do yourself more harm than good, live a simple life by letting the little worries go.

We as humans have to accept that certain things happen in our lives which we have no control over them. So we need not to worry too much. @collinz

exactly as you said, thanks

The amazing part

Before anything you have thought to be worse happens, just enjoy the few moments you have hoping that even the worse situation could turn around for your good.

Brother, I myself is a victim to thinking 🤔 over little things, even things that are yet to happen, someone said that as long as we’re alive, there are tendencies to be overtaken by such way of thinking.

Nice post.

Yea, there can always be a tendency of dwelling on the little things but we should always free ourselves when we are overtaken by such issues, I believe every moment we have has to lived right, free from anxiety. Thanks sharing a good thought and your personal experience, I'm glad you stopped by

Things which haven't happened yet must not give you a reason to worry no matter how bad it seems. Do you know many people die even before their time? yea, a lot of people do. I heard of a story a story when a man was given a death sentence by a firing .

I have enjoyed reading this post its very touching and speaks the strutj of life ..We most often worry about the future which is not yet near and cause their fears to affect our present .
