WORRY NOT

Worry kills a man. It destroys his joys of life. It is a canker that slowly eats away a man. It wears him out. Do not worry over what is gone. Forget it. No one has yet been able to claim any good by worrying. Do not worry about things which are likely to happen; so very often they do not happen. "Sufficient for the day is the evil thereof". The best and surest antidote or penicillin injection for worry is to keep oneself fully occupied.
Always be doing something useful. Do your best and leave the rest to God. Do not worry. You will be indeed blessed then. Hard work with a peaceful, harmonious mind never kills anyone. It builds up the system and prolongs life. But worry kills a man; it shortens life.
