“Worry takes your time away.”

You have better things to do than to worry your life away. Worry is just worry. It is nothing. It can’t change your life. To really live your life, worrying yourself is not the right thing to do for yourself. It doesn’t feel good to worry about things that we cannot control. Look, my friends, whatever you cannot control, whatever you cannot change, do not worry yourself about it. Because whether you worry yourself or not, the thing is not going to change. Instead of worrying yourself, just think of what you can do to make things better.

Instead of worry your life away, why not think of what you can do to change what you are worrying yourself about? Think of what you can do to make things better. Put your thoughts together. Do not waste your time. Worry is just worry. It never yields anything positive. Instead, it wastes your precious time.

Whatever you face in your life, face it. Because you are always going to face difficult things. When you face something terrifying, what are you going to do? How are you going to make the situation better? The best way to make things better for yourself, in my opinion, is to stop worrying yourself. Things will not always go your way. When you don’t get what you want, it is not the end of the world. Be grateful that you are still alive to make things better for your life. Just do what you can do to make things better. But make sure you are doing the right thing. Because as you do, so you get.

The Golden Opportunity You Are Seeking Is In Yourself Alone

“The golden opportunity you are seeking is in yourself. It is not in your environment; it is not in luck or chance, or the help of others; it is in yourself alone.”- Orison Swett Marden

There are opportunities everywhere. Your opportunity is not in your environment. It is not in your house. It is not in your “luck or chance.” The life you are seeking, the growth you are seeking, the happiness you are seeking, the love you are seeking, the togetherness you are seeking is in you. It is in your soul. It is in your suffering. It is in the dark.

When you listen to your suffering, you can learn a lot from it. The Scripture says, “And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; and perseverance, character; and character and hope.”

The opportunity you are looking for is not in your environment. It is in your suffering. It is in your character. It is in hope. So whenever you are faced with problems, you should be happy for facing them. Instead of running away from your problems, why not use the opportunity to connect with yourself, to bring out the best in yourself, to love yourself even more. Why not? What are you waiting for?

Robert Collier was right when he said, “In every adversity there lies the seed of an equivalent advantage. In every defeat is a lesson showing you how to win the victory next time.” Whatever you are going through, it is not here to stop you from reaching your goals. Do not ignore your suffering. It has a lot to teach you. All you need to do is to just make room for it to happen. It is your responsibility to do it for yourself, for your future. Do not limit your life. You have a goal to achieve. You have your life to live. And to do that, you need to leave your safe zone. You need to challenge yourself. The only way to get your opportunity is to make sure that your feelings about your opportunity never defeat you. Because if you allow your emotions to control you, you miss your golden opportunity. Do not miss it.
