Feb 15 Definition of Peace, Part 2

Today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday. Was it worth it?
Mohandas Gandhi

Peace is the absence of worry.
This is an era of change, and many people respond to change with worry.
We worry about what people think of us, we worry about money, we worry about things that haven’t happened yet and things that we can’t do anything about.
Worrying is not the same as preparing. Preparing is working in the present for a better outcome in the future. Worrying is living in the future, imagining the worst.
Preparing produces a plan. Worry doesn’t produce anything except more worry.
We eventually finish preparing; worrying can take us around in circles forever.
Today, identify one thing you worry about. Has your worrying made a difference?
