I worry sometimes about why I don't have anything to worry about.
I try to live a very simple life style..., and is feeling quite comfortable with it. There are no expected dramas in my life...which at times make it hard for me to understand... why so many of my friends and family appear to be suffering. It makes me wonder.... how are they living their lives ? It appears that most of them are doing much better than I am... so why does it sound like they are SUFFERING...????
They appear to be living either on their knees all day, every day praying..., as if the devil is standing over them.... or they are cussing and spitting bitterness and hate, as if something is literally tearing them apart.....I fail to understand this living from one EXTREME to the NEXT.
Well.., I choose a no worry zone..., a no fear zone ...and a NO DRAMA zone! By being in this type of environment... I find that I can much easily enjoy people..., and this wonderful world... created by my Lord.
It is not that I don't see, nor hear the turmoil of daily living....because I do.... I, nor my family are perfect by any means. There are problems..., left and right..., and you have to deal with them day and night..., disappointments...,flaws, ups and downs...and even some aches and pains... but I choose not to worry about them.... I handle them if I can..., and move on if I can't.....
Every now and then other people problems cross my path...and I am forced to focus on their agenda.., it is just like meeting someone on the road... I greet the problem.., take a close look at the physical being of it ..., listen for the emotional thought of it, and sometimes I throw in a "wild card" just to see what is mentally motivating it...,But in no time at all... I move on..., THIS TOO.. PASSED!
Usually..., after I have gotten a distance away... I might reflect..., and conclude, that the episode happened... and somehow I learned from it. I am finding that I am constantly learning to be more selected these days ..., moving on is not a question any more.... no baggage... no worries.
I often tell myself, that what ever my family and friends choose to HOLD ON TO... is something that they probably need to hold on to... they have a need to dwell on it ....to work through it ....( I have been there before)..., if they ask for my help...., I will simply do what I can...or explain if I can't ....but my goal is to let things go..., to turn things loose....if it is not attached to me... to simply.., DROP IT!
TO ALLOW myself to become attached to things that I can't control is never my intention...not my plan. I refuse to take on a task that is designed to break me... to have me crying out to my Lord for mercy..., all day and all night.... to have me quoting scriptures..., and praying not only for me but for everybody...
Oh..,don't get me wrong, I praise my Lord... but it has nothing to do with fighting off devils. It is a mind thing with me.... If my Lord knows me... then he knows my mind....my heart and my soul....so, why is it ...,most folks don't understand this?
Funny thing about people who do WORRY..., THEY SEEM TO WANT YOU TO WORRY..., and tend to get upset when you don't WORRY!
Like I said..., sometimes I worry because I don't have anything to worry about....but even that worry is SHORT LIVED....
FREEDOM OF MIND, FREEDOM OF SOUL, ALL EQUALS TO FREEDOM OF BODY!
