Who knew there were so many smart people in this world?
Not me!!
Think about the quote above and put it into context with what we all seem to be experiencing lately.
We have been harping on the FACT that worry is a wasted, useless, fear-based effort that does absolutely no good for anyone or any situation.
So too have we tried to show that worry can be controlled and marginalized if we recognize it for what it is and take evasive action against it!
Now we come to find that the end product of worry, the partner in crime to fear, STRESS is also avoidable and controllable.
We are the authors and Captains of our lives and of our emotions.
How often do you hear someone say, "I could have never held my anger back like you did."
Or "I do not know how she is so happy after all that she has been through".
These are examples of situations where we control or orchestrate our own emotions and reactions to events.
People do it all the time. These people are no different than you and me, except they have found the secret before we did!!!
Well, guess what? We have caught up now!!!
Recognize the fact that we do indeed have power over how we react to negative issue, challenges, and trials.
The key is to be ready to control our reactions when something bad occurs, and make a conscious effort to guide our emotions away from stress and into peace and comfort in our faith.
Keep prayers handy to distract yourself and literally, verbally, acknowledge turning all of your problems over to God and the Holy Spirit whenever you feel fearful or anxious.
This too shall pass for all of us struggling with any issues, and we will emerge from all of this better, wiser, and stronger!!!
That is God's will..
Stay Strong!!!
