BIG ideas.
Get Busy!!! by Dale Carnegie
“George Bernard Shaw was right. He summed it all up when he said: “The secret of being miserable is to have the leisure to bother about whether you are happy or not.” So don’t bother to think about it! Spit on your hands and get busy. Your blood will start circulating; your mind will start ticking--and pretty soon this whole positive upsurge of life in your body will drive worry from your mind. Get busy. Keep busy. It’s the cheapest kind of medicine there is on this earth--and one of the best.” ~ Dale Carnegie from How to Stop Worrying and Start Living
Classic.
You giving yourself the leisure time to be miserable? Well spit on your hands and get to work on something constructive already, will ya?!? :)
Of course, we need time to reflect and envision our ideal lives but be careful lest you spend too that time in anxiety. If you find yourself worrying too much, go back up there to the four step worry-busting formula and rock #4. (The just do it part. :)
And stop worrying and start living!
