A question I often ask is- will I be worrying about this in ten years time?- Answer NO. Will I be worrying about this in five years time – NO, what about one year? I hope not – 6 months probably not- three? again, probably not – One month- in one month I’ll know won’t I. What about in two weeks- well the worry part, that will be over because I’ll know- Stop asking me insane questions – What I am getting to is – If you’re not going to be worrying about it in five years, why expend all that energy worrying now? The outcome will be the same, whatever happens – do what you can do NOW.

Sure there’s this small dark cloud that seems to be attached to your shoulder and follows you all round the office and every now and then you turn around to face it, you grab hold of the bugger and it becomes jelly and changes shape slips out of your fingers, it almost laughs at you don’t it? It jangles a set of keys about the promise or not of the future and then deposits them in an empty milk urn and shakes them around and around sends them rolling down an incline and that sound fills your mind that endless incessant chatter and jangling of this beast known as worry. Here it comes again, this time it’s a twister with a pointy tail that wants to weave a wake of destruction through your Bhuddist calm center- don’t bite, don’t give it the pleasure, focus on the big picture the beyond the now and you’ll get there. Throw it back in its face, challenge it… ‘Is that the best you’ve got?” stamp on it like it’s the beginning of a forest fire, for sure enough if you let that little demon out of the glove box he’s gonna fill, up the whole car….
