Worry.

Worrying

     Worrying is not about the feeling of something is going to go wrong, worrying is about not feeling that we're enough to have positive thoughts about any situation, or even more simply, worry is the lack of faith.

     Worrying is the path that we take because it's the common one, this is really our comfort zone, we take it because is the known human way to abide in our own fears because it feels like home; I don't know you or your upbringing, but in mine, I was not told that I was not supposed to fear my own decisions, to do what I'm scared to most, to take a leap of faith and feel the beating of my heart in a different level of expectation, just not knowing what is going to happen next to a terrible unique dreamy powerful choice of mine.

     We worry too much about everything and anything, the news on the tv, what my mom will think of me if I have sex with somebody that she knows, we worry about the weight that we're going to gain because we added a whole banana to our smoothie in the morning, and now we're eating a whole banana again for a snack.

     We even worry about the blue shades colors in the sky, was it periwinkle this morning?...or baby blue?...or the end of the world?

      At the end of the day, we suffer from a "guilty mind syndrome" that only tells us that we imagined so many scenarios about a potential self-inflicted reality we created at the starting of a single beautiful morning, and only maybe 1% of what we thought it was going to happen, really happened.

      I think we just need to make a little twist to our obscure mind and start practicing gratitude at the starting of our day, combined with the miracle of faith involved in all this mechanism we call "Life" and maybe we can start seeing and feeling different about our own attitudes, perspectives, and beliefs we have had about our precious world.
