Leave worrying behind

Posted on by philipdodson

No amount of caution, safety, protection, medication, worry, regulations, testing, hiding or precautions will change what will be. We can’t keep allowing our mind’s fears to make us want to run away from life.

That doesn’t mean we have to be stupidly reckless, well, unless you want to choose that for your own journey. After all, our life is our choice and we’re here just once in this current carnation.

If we stay present and away from our mind and its self-created psychological fears of ‘what might happen’, then there is little need for anything other that just enjoying life. Living is a risk, that’s what makes it amazing.

One day it ends for us all no matter what we do. Accept it, live always now and leave worrying behind.

Bad things

Posted on by philipdodson

I’m 54 years old and I struggle to think of anything that has happened to me that has been really bad, as in life threateningly awful, really, really bad. Furthermore, anything that I have not been able to deal with.

Yet in my mind, I have imagined almost every horrific thing that you could come up with and not just once but again and again and yep, again. If all the bad things I had imagined might happen, had happened, well I wouldn’t be 54 and I wouldn’t be writing this blog. Even if 1% of them had occurred, then life would have been beyond description ‘bad’.

We can stop our worrying…bad things happen in the mind, which we control. In real life not much happens really…we to be worried about and the worrying stops us enjoy the good.
