The Waste In Worry
By Brad Stevens
If we were to keep a record of all the things we worried about during a given period of time , we would discover that the great majority of the problems were not worth worrying. We would discover that most of the time which we devote to worrying(even the constructive kind that prompts us to try to come up with a soultion to what is troubling us) is wasted. Thus, not only do we cause ourselves unnecessary mental anguish, but we also waste valuable mins and hrs that could have been spend elsewhere.
Here's a short story on Worry:
Once, shortly before a major concert , a member of Arturo Toscanini's orchestra approached the great Italian conductor with an expression of sheer terror on his face.
" Maestro", the musician fretted, " my instrument is not working properly, i cannot reach the note of E - Flat. What should i do? We are beginning in a few moments."
Toscanini looked at the man with utter amazement. Then he smiled kindly and placed an arm around his shoulders.
" My friend," the maestro replied, " Do not worry about it. The note E-Flat does not appear anywhere in the music that you will be playing this evening."
The next time we find ourselves in the middle of worrying about some matter, we might be wise to stop and ask ourselves whether we should be doing something more productive and meaningful; we may be able to go on to something more constructive.
