Keep in the Sunlight
Keep in the Sunlight
Do not anticipate trouble, or worry about what may never happen. Keep in the sunlight.
Benjamin Franklin
When we are worried about something it’s almost impossible not to ruminate on it. We try to think of all possible outcomes to our “problem”, one worse than the other, as if they could be avoided just by being thought of.
We have to remind ourselves again and again how meaningless such behavior is. How often haven’t we, in the end, worried for nothing? Worrying only makes us tense and stressed out – and everybody knows how bad that is for our general wellbeing!
The German author and poet Wilhelm Busch so rightly said “Firstly things happen in a different way, and secondly than you think” (“Estens kommt es anders, und zweitens als man denkt”).
Next time you catch yourself anticipating trouble remember these wise words. Drop your worries, relax, and keep in the sunlight. It always shines on you, even on a cloudy day. As for the rain that you fear, it may not even fall.
