Take this advice from Mr. N @NNP_W_Light

Worrying doesn't do anything except distract you from getting a job done. – Mr. N

Are you worrying about things that are out of your control?

Worrying doesn't lead to happiness. All it leads to stress and unhappiness.

Yesterday, I felt like the white rabbit from Alice in Wonderland. From the time I started working (8:00 am) until the time MR N came home from work, I was an hour behind. I had a to-do list a mile long and kept whispering, "I'm late, I'm late, for a very important date."

I had a choice. I could worry about how I was going to get everything done before 5:30 pm or I could work through my list, one item at a time.

Which one do you think I chose?

I went with the latter and it worked. Even though it felt like I was constantly behind, eventually I caught up and at 5:30 pm, I completed everything on my to-do list.

Worrying doesn't do anything except distract you from getting a job done.

Take MR N's advice: you never have to worry; all is in control.

Life is too short to worry by @NNP_W_Light

Life is too short to worry about stuff! I know people say this all the time but I speak from experience. When I was in college, I worried about everything.

Would I ace this test?

What will I have for lunch?

Will I have to study at the library while my roommate has sex with her guy of the week?

Does the cute guy in my Humanities class like me or is he just being nice?

Did all this worrying help me? No. All it did was stress me out and I was a mess. It wasn't until I stopped worrying and started living that my outlook changed.

Are you worrying about life?

Listen, stop worrying and start living. I tell this to my friends all the time. Life is too short... you gotta enjoy every moment.

Imagine what your life would look like if you didn't have to worry about what the world thought. Think about the life you dream about and go for it! I never thought in a million years that I would be a published author and book promoter, married to the man of my dreams and living the life I always wanted. Sure, there were many (and I mean like a zillion) detours along the way. I messed up and took a wrong turn. But instead of worrying, I brushed myself off and found my way back to the path.

Are you on a detour? Don't worry about it and take this advice:

Life is too short to worry about stupid things. Have fun. Fall in love. Regret nothing, and don't let people bring you down.
