So many worries, so little resources..

Everyday I worry about many things. I worry about my electric bill which shoots up every month and stressing me out because I have to pay 1,500.00 monthly. I also worry of my cable and water bills... Whew... Another thing is work. I have to be responsible and early because a 5-minute tardiness entails a salary deduction. I also worry for future expenses that are already pending as of the moment. I worry about my health because I get sick at times and I never pay attention in taking medications or go for a medical appointment. I have very big efforts in saving money that I have to walk everyday going back and forth my work place. I worry about my mom because she is far away from me and she gets sick at times and I never get to take care of her.. Ugh... So many things to worry about and all I do is SMILE just to be able to continue living a day.... We all just have to think of the brighter side of things that whatever efforts we do now will eventually pay off more that we have ever expected.... Manage time, spend leisure moments, connect with friends.. Our worries will always be there but worries are made for us to work on..... So just keep up with the times and get ourselves going......

I have learned that worrying never really gets us anywhere. I mean, if we worry about money, will that make us richer? If we worry about our health, will that makes us healthier? If we worry about our bills, will that make them go away? The thing is, worrying will actually just make it worse. I have learned that the hard way. LOL. We attract experiences into our lives simply by the way we feel and think at the moment. If you want to change our circumstances, change the way you feel. It may be difficult at first, but it can be done. Instead of worrying, look for things to appreciate-- like if you walk everyday to work, just think what good exercise you are getting. :) Enjoy the walk, the scenery, the air. Feel a little bit better. It will do you a lot of good. :)

everyone has worries. financial, job, family, social life, health and safety has always been our main concern in life. We can not avoid the worry, because it indicates that someone was thinking of how to live life and do the best.

Life is getting tougher every passing day, it is not like heaven anymore in the present world order. You just have to stay strong and remain optimistic of the future, without that, you can go insane in any minute. Yes, keep it up and look at thing from the bright side all the time, continue to work hard and play hard. Everything will be fine and work out by itself. Nobody say life is all fair and easy, we have to accept what is coming to us and deal with it without feeling defeat.

Wow, your post is very inspiring. You're right. Worries are everywhere. What should we do? Instead of worrying the worries, we should just do our best especially at work. We have to earn in order to lessen those worries. Thanks for sharing and happy mylotting.

HI. Don't worry.Because being worried doesn't solve anything. I used to get worried from time to time when I had something difficult.But i found it only added to my difficulties . As time went by, I learned to calm myself down when i was getting worried. I slowed down. I tried to change my way of doing things.I made it a rule that no matterwhat happened i mustn't harm others although i had a good intention.

Yes, eventually, worries are there everytime and everywhere. When you think of an awkward things you simply had a worry. Everyone of us feel that kind of anxiety in life. The best way to cope up with worries is simply by being happy. Find joy in simple ways and do not ruin your day because of worries.

It took me a long time to realize it but you cant sweat the small stuff and honestly its all small stuff. Your alive and healthy and you get up every day and are able to start another day each morning. I have had to teach my self to look at the blessings in every thing even in the bad. Every thing happens for a reason and what doesnt kill us only makes us stronger. I can only do so much as I am only one person but you will never see me giving up. I will always have a smile on my face no matter what because when you quit smiling you quit living.

Just like you, I worry a lot coz I have 4 kids, all needs a lot of things everyday, from food, fare, and other school expenses. Added to that are the monthly bills that needs to be settled by the end of the month. I try to be positive in dealing with it, although I must admit, I sometimes think of just giving up. It is really difficult to make both ends meet nowadays.

oh..my.. i feel you. I'm having the same situation though not exactly but i worry the same thing finances, health, and bills. But im glad to see by reading your discussion that your trying to do something for it. And you are right, stop worrying because next time you will start to worry about wrinkles in your face, haha! just joking. :) Anyway, i believe those negative things and problems were not meant to last forever.. Just pray and keep working, and leave the results up to God.. :) Take cre! God bless!
