The main reason why I am writing this post is for a friend who gets worked up for every little thing that happens and that friend might be you or even you.
There are people who get worried easily and it affects their body system negatively, I know of someone who panics so much whenever there is a little drift in the change of things, her temperature begins to rise as she panics, and sometimes she even develops a headache.
One question I keep asking is that, is it possible for everything to always go the way we want?
I am so certain that the answer to that question is a big No because sometimes we are not even certain about if what we wish for is the best thing for our lives.
Most of the time, life gives us what we demand, you want something this way, it works like that for you and you are super excited about it, so why then does it become an issue when things just become a little different for some time.
Take A Look At This Illustration.
You just want 5 pieces of cake and you have 3pieces? you immediately forget the fact that you could make do with the 3 pieces of cake you have and you begin to panic about how to get the remaining 2 pieces of cake you have left.
The time and effort you waste in panicking and getting disturbed about the two pieces of cake you do not have, you would have used that time to make out something meaningful from the three pieces of cake that you have with you.
Worrying and panicking have absolutely nothing to offer, as a matter of fact, it even scatters your system and it renders you totally helpless since we now know that worrying has absolutely nothing to offer, so why the worry my friend?.
whatever it is that you have no power or control over, it is best that you allow it be.
This is very true since you have no power to tame the situation, then it is best that you let it slide.
If only we know how well being calm can help save us from the danger we might get ourselves into, then we will learn to be more calm about any situation or circumstance that we find ourselves in.
I really hope that this short post serves its purpose and it helps us to know how well we should act in certain situations and conditions.

Worrying today makes worrying tommorow even worse.
And one funny thing about worrying is it stops you from taking any action where by it let's play the victim for most of your life.
It's hard to change that mindset in just a week a or two.
It takes time and patience and overcome it but boy, it's worth it.
nice post
So true.... Thanks for this post. I stopped worrying a long time ago. It doesn't change anything significantly. It only give us something to be worked out on. The earlier we appreciate these things the beat for us. Life is never and continue to be unfair. We just have to learn to live with it... Nice post. Resteemed
Yea,that's so true,worrying affect even your health,like the saying half bread is better than none,so it's good to try and make do with what you have,even if things doesn't go your way,always have hope and trust in God;believe in yourself also and trust your vision and keep moving out in faith and never give up,be patience also,and stop worrying.
It was Mary Hemingway that said "Worry a little bit every day and in a lifetime you will lose a couple of years. If something is wrong, fix it if you can. But train yourself not to worry. Worry never fixes anything."
And I totally align my thoughts with your submissions.
A man of wisdom.... I wish i could go back and tell myself the things i know now... Thanks for the motivation
We shouldn't been too panic because patient is just the key to all.
We should try to take things easy in whatever situation we can be. Thanks @gbenga for sharing your inspirational post
Thank you for this
Nice piece sire @gbenga, little contribution to this post is, worrying is something we can't stop but our ability to overcome worry is what we should be our focus. Worry and anxiety really makes people act or do things they are not suppose to do. Forget the problem and search for solutions. Always enjoy your motivation post. I wish I could wake up to them every day.
worrying most times ends up compounding our problems and could even result to a serious health challenge,
we should always note that even most of the things we worry are things that we have little or no control over so why then even worry in the first place.
at the end you see that the disadvantage of worry of ways it advantage.
You hit the point. I learn to smile as the hand of clock moves
Worrying does more harm than what we can imagine. It creates fear a lot of times which affects and damage our self-confidence.
Thanks for this big reminder @gbenga.
@gbenga
It's just as if you had me in mind before writing this post, i can panic for the whole world. Thanks for sharing this..
Worrying cannot add anything to your life...... Why worry over situation that is beyond your control...... Why not take it to our Lord in prayer since He said that we should cast out burden upon Him because He knows what we are going through......
Thanks for sharing @gbenga
Don't worry about situations you can't change instead put it in Gods hand. Too much worries and anxiety drains strength and render one useless and less effective. @Gbenga i hope this piece serve it purpose, great work.
I am tempted to say ladies falls victim in this category because of couple of my female friends but remembered a friends narration of his male friend being arrested recently because of thief. Hunger and Lack of money was the genesis of the madness. While seemingly be anxious and worried is inevitable then how must one overcome it. It seems be worried and anxious I was than the challenges if life themselves.. your illustration on the 5-piece of cake hits the bulls eye: being worried while unseemly inevitable must be overcome in one's life because they only worsen one sense of hope and most time cripples one's sight to the answer he/she needs that possibly lies before him/her
"sometimes we are not even certain about if what we wish for is the best thing for our lives."
That is great input. Many people think that when they stop thinking they'll stop being. They fear inner Silence. Time itself is a thought made construct. There is only this moment. Thought attachment to the past clogs up our present moment with exactly the meaning and energy we gave it in the past. Our thinking mind aka ego doesn't know what is truly best for us at it is only designed to operate within the realm of our five senses', thus it is short-sighted. That which truly helps us comes forth in mental Silence, the source of Peace and inner guidance and wisdom.
It is almost exclusively thought attachment which causes us distress and agony. Let the thoughts go and we'll enter our Heart space which only knows the Now.
Thank you for this brief yet effective expansion of Awareness!
It is in the human nature to worry even when it is totally uncalled for.
What needs to be done I develop an attitude of worrying less. It can only happen when we develop a positive mindset towards life.
Nice post @gbenga
This is captivating one @gbenga, people just have to developed or fight the fear they possess and summon up courage.
I love this line of your post.Nice post friend.
Worry is the misuse of the brain given to you by God, instead of worry THINK. positive thoughts rescues you totally from the shackles of worry which leads to depression notably. Thanks @gbenga
