Worrying is good when it gets you to do things -- hold peace talks, build flood barriers, lock the back door, teach children road drill. But when you can't do anything then it's just destructive. The trick is to learn the difference between the two.

SHARON GRIFFITHS

---

Worry is a fidgety girl who can't do things right. In the morning she dresses herself but the clothes don't fit. Worry is slim. Worry is fat. Worry is never what she wants to be.

EILEEN CURTEIS

---

No matter how heavy your burden is now, the only way that you'll be able to manage it without subjecting yourself to excessive worrying is to accept what lies ahead.

ANTHONY JOSHUA

If I was a worrier I'd worry, but not being a worrier I'm just sort of confused and p*ssed off.

MYKLE HANSEN

---

Worry is nothing but the bad habit of thinking about what you DON'T want to happen. It's a misuse of your most precious power -- the imagination.

DAN ZADRA

---

The first essential component of worry is a future orientation. In other words, when you worry you invariably focus on something that might happen but hasn't happened yet. This notion might seem a bit controversial. In fact, you might even disagree with it. You might argue that you worry about things that are happening now, not in the future. A closer look, though, reveals the truth--worry is like a haunted crystal ball, tormenting you with a terrifying view of the future.

KEVIN L. GYOERKOE & PAMELA S. WIEGARTZ

ANTHONY JOSHUA

Action is worry's worst enemy.

AMERICAN PROVERB

Do not worry at being worried; but accept worry peacefully. Difficult but not impossible.

JOHN CHAPMAN

People get so in the habit of worry that if you save them from drowning and put them on a bank to dry in the sun with hot chocolate and muffins they wonder whether they are catching a cold.

JOHN JAY CHAPMAN

---

We are, perhaps uniquely among the earth's creatures, the worrying animal. We worry away our lives, fearing the future, discontent with the present, unable to take in the idea of dying, unable to sit still. We deserve a better press, in my view.

LEWIS THOMAS

---

Every moment of worry weakens the soul for its daily combat.

ANNA ROBERTSON BROWN

---

If the worry is reasonable, do something about it. If it's irrational or out of your control, recognize that.

ERIC BARKER

---

Excessive worrying is like walking through a foggy street at night; you have no idea what lies ahead and the darkness and dampness create a sense of dread that is difficult to ignore. The actual landscape is easy to navigate, but because you chose to walk into the foggy portion of the street, you won't be able to see anything clearly.

ANTHONY JOSHUA

---

Since worrying is toxic let us concentrate on finding a solution to our problems. Let's focus our mind on everything that is good, healthy, productive, and that will help us to increase our ability to enjoy life more abundantly.
