O artigo seguinte foi tirado do livro de um escritor americano sobre "Entusiasmo", que me inspirou muito. Este trecho fala muito bem sobre a preocupação. Vou postar partes dele aqui, que acho que serão de grande ajuda para aqueles que precisam. (está em inglês, infelizmente não tenho a tradução.Se você não consegue ler, peça ajuda ou use o tradutor Google)
Worry, and You Choke And Strangle
The word “worry” derives from an old Anglo-Saxon verb wyrgan, meaning to choke or strangle. If someone were to grasp you around the neck with two hands, pressing as hard as possible, and thereby cutting off your air supply, he would be doing to you dramatically what you gradually do to yourself as a confirmed worrier. Through worry you are actually strangling your creative powers. In an early Anglo-Saxon illustration, worry is graphically depicted as a huge angry wolf with teeth in a man’s neck.
Relief from worry is what this book is endeavoring to provide. Even more than relief, it offers a positive cure in the form of vital enthusiasm which can actually cancel worry.
I have always liked that familiar and reassuring statement by Victor Hugo, “When you have accomplished all that you can, lie down and go to sleep. God is awake.”
And a physician has a good idea. He tells his patients to say their prayers and then to say further, “Good night, worries. See you in the morning.”
And I may add, as you develop some real enthusiasm, worries won’t be there to trouble you in the morning. Or if they are, you will be able to handle them. And never forget those tremendous words of Isaiah (35:4): “Say to them that are of a fearful heart, be strong, fear not.”
From the book “Enthusiasm Makes the Difference” by Norman Vincent Peale
Don't Worry! Be happy! Tenha um bom domingo! A vida é curta! Aproveite!
