Let's say you just bought a pet goldfish, he is so adorable, respond
to you when you are near. You love the goldfish so much and feel so
happy that you are blessed to have this goldfish as your pet.
Then, a thought entered your mind, "What if I lose my goldfish one
day?" So, everyday you spent a portion of your time worrying and let
fears and insecurity fill you, dreading about the day when you will lose
your goldfish.
The same principle applies in Life. We sometimes fill ourselves
with so much unnecessary worries that rob us off precious time to seize
the moment. Actually, there is no need to ask the "What if" questions
because we will lose what we have someday. Everything has an expiry
date, including ourselves.
Worrying may get you slightly mentally prepared but you cannot possibly
cover all angles and it will not prevent things from happening anyway.
If we live in the moment and live everyday the best we can, there is no
need to fear the day we lose what is precious to us because we have make
full use of every opportunity to cherish what we have.
When a
negative thought fills your mind and makes you worry about losing what
you have, don't waste time engaging the thought. Instead, shift the
focus to making full use of whatever time / opportunity we have to
create beautiful memories and to treasure what we are blessed with.
Cheers.
