Worries. We Can't Really Live With Them, So How Can We Live Without Them?

Why do we worry in the first place?

It's because we are unsure of the future. And this is caused by our past, which is haunting us. And you know what happens when we do this? We stop living. We forget that, actually, all that matters for you and me, is this second, this minute, this day. No more, no less. It's all that matters, and you know why? Because you and I, we could die today. And if that would happen, would any past issues or fears matter for you? For me? Would you need to know your future anymore?

Just imagine this. If you were dying right now (and although I'm a very optimistic guy, I have to tell you that this is a very real possibility as more than 145 000 people die every day), so if you were living your last moments on this earth, what would you think of? Would you think that you were such a foul that you didn't live more, laugh more, sing more, dance more, write more, love more.

Would you think of all those trillions of worries that you've embraced so warmly and think that you should have instead embraced your future and your past so that you had lived a better present? Would worries help you then, right there, on your dying bed?

Imagine that you are there. Don't just read this lines. You are there. Do worries help you know? Did they help you ever? In fact, if you think about it, all your worries or 99% of them, turned out to be a complete waste of time and things turned out to be great in the end.

But you lost all that time... Who can take back that time and give it back to you? No one. You could have, but you chose to worry and worry again. You seemed so found of your little worries. They had became your friends. I know you will say that's not the case. Well, then, if you hate worries and they are not your friends, why are spending so much time with them?

Why are you even listening to them? Why are you spending so much of your life in the presence of worries. You know now that worries are only here to make you sad and feel depressed for any reason or motive. Worries don't care about you. They don't care if you even end up dead because of them. I think that when you will be dead, they will actually say: "Good job. Another one bites the dust. On to the next."

They don't care about you, so why should you care about them? Stop worrying now or that image of yourself, on that bed, dying, is going to become a crude reality soon. Do you want that? If you don't, then do something about it. It's in your power.

Start living, planning your life and what you want to do and trow worries at the garbage can. Embrace your past and learn from your mistakes. Then let you past go. Don't hold on to it. You don't need it anymore. You've learned what there was to learn. Tell the past that it's time you moved on and he is no longer needed. He will probably cry a little, but he will manage, don't worry :)

Then, look at your future. Will it be good? Will it bring a lot of problems? Who knows? It all depends on what you do from now on. Each moment will add up to form your future, so you don't need to loose time and wonder about it. You are your own future. You don't need to stop and wonder. All you need to do is live today as you want to be tomorrow. The future has no power. It is only thin air.

The future can not live without the present. It can not be without it. The present is really the important thing here. It has the power. Today is more powerful than tomorrow because it's happening now. Without today, tomorrow is dead. So the future depends on the present. It can not live without it.

Don't waste your time with the future. Put time and effort into the present. Stop worrying. Don't be afraid. It's time you realized the power of now. It's time you lived those moments you only lived when you've imagined you were dying. Remember them? You now have a second chance. Live. Live like you never lived before.
