WORDS of INSPIRATION for a NEW DAY

Happiness is… releasing worries

Worry never robs tomorrow of its sorrow, it only saps today of its joy. ~Leo Buscaglia

We can dwell on so many “what ifs” if we choose to. Somehow they always seem to be directed towards everything that can go wrong. But there is so much that can go right as well. That is where we must keep our focus if we want to let go of worries.

Every morning Melissa awakens to the sweet sound of bluebirds singing outside her bedroom window. She listens to their joyful song and wonders if they have any worries. They don’t know where their next meal is coming from, but that doesn’t keep them from singing. Somehow their needs always seem to be met. Each new day, they blissfully sing and play as if they don’t have a care in the world.

It puts our mind at ease to trust that everything is going to be alright. And if for some reason it isn’t, we have to believe that we will be able to deal with problems as they come. Worrying keeps us focused on problems, not solutions. It saps our energy and our strength. To release our worries is to let go of our anxieties and face our challenges with confidence and peace of mind.

Affirmation:  Worry has no control over me when I choose to release it.


Only man clogs his happiness with care, destroying what is with thoughts of what may be. ~John Dryden


Real difficulties can be overcome, it is only the imaginary ones that are unconquerable. ~Theodore N. Vail

Remember to practice happiness today by... releasing worries.
