[From the book by P. I. Tilley, LMHC. Use these quotes when worry knocks at your door. Also use it to comfort others, as helping others is also a mood booster.]
"That the birds of worry and care fly over your head cannot change, but that they build nests in your hair, this you can prevent!" (Chinese Proverb)
"Stop being afraid of what could go wrong, and start being excited about what could go right." (Tony Robbins)
"Worry is like a rocking chair. It gives you something to do but gets you nowhere." (Erma Bombeck)
"Worry is worshiping the problem." (Toby Mac)
"Worry is thinking that has turned toxic." (Harold Walker)
"The key to longevity is to avoid worry, stress and tension." (George Burns, 100 years old)
"I have held many things in my hands, and I have lost them all. But whatever I placed in God's hands, I still possess." (Corrie ten Boom)
"There isn't enough room in your mind for both worry and faith. YOU must decide which one will live there." (markandangel.com)
This delightful story also has a message. It is paraphrased, and the author is unknown.
"A man was on a long flight, when the message came on to fasten the seatbelts, as turbulence was ahead. Passengers began to look apprehensive as the approaching storm suddenly broke. There were cracks of thunder and lightning dancing across the dark sky.
The man looked around the plane and saw nearly all the passengers were fearful except for one little girl. The plane lurched this way and that, but the little girl remained calm. When the plane safely landed, the man asked the child, "How ever did you manage not to feel afraid?"
She replied, "Cause my Daddy is the pilot, and he's taking me Home!"
Our Heavenly Father is our Pilot and He will bring us safely Home. "Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you, not as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled, and do not be afraid." (Jesus Christ, John 14:27)
