Living a life without worry

In life, there will always be something that we will worry about
whether it be school grades, jobs, world issues, friendships or relationships
there will always be something to worry about

If your not careful, you could spend your whole life worrying
You will be missing out on everything else that is currently in your life
All because of this one fragment of your life

I have learned from experience that life is too short to be worrying so much
One of the biggest reasons why I worry is because of what I draw on what I have already experienced. Rather than starting off fresh the way I should be.

As I go on about not worrying, I need to define the difference between worrying and not caring.
There is a glaring difference here that some people may not see. A good example of this, would be when I was in college or university. For most of college, I did not seem to worry about my grades too much. Actually I did not concern myself with it at all. I did not really care. I knew I was going to pass. I barely tried and got really good marks. In University, it was different. Because I stopped caring for my grades years ago and stopped putting effort into it, it was hard for me to get back into it. Eventually I dropped out because I just did not have the drive or will to move forward with the education. I did not care about my education at the time, because I was worrying about other things at that moment.

This is where worrying about other things too much comes into play. Last September, my biggest worry, was my biggest mistake. I worried too much about having a boyfriend and when my ex broke up with me, I felt like I was left with nothing. If I did not worry about it so much, many things would of turned out differently. I'd probably still be in school, have good grades and be getting ready to enter my final year of education. Instead, I ended up dropping out of school, and having to find work because I spent too much time worrying about a boyfriend, that I forgot about everything else. Just turns out that the 'everything else' included some things that are essensial to my life. Now I'm left with picking up the pieces of all that I lost after worrying too much about one thing.

This is just one example of how a worry can lead to an unhealthy obsession, and should not be treated lightly. It should be delt with as soon as you can possibly deal with it. When and if you find yourself worrying about something too much, slow down, and ask yourself, is it really worth all your time? and go from there.

We are always weighing our options in life and I beleive you should not weigh one aspect in your life much higher than others, because that way it keeps your life balanced. That way no change in your life will affect you so much that you might do something you would not do as your normal self. You will be able to keep self control. Sure, some situations might be tough in life, but we have to hold our heads up high, and beleive we can make it through anything in life. If you can beleive in these words, that you can get through any obstacle in life, I beleive that you are on the right track in living a life without worry. Why? Because your always ready to face life's challenges, and your not willing to back down to anything. It may be difficult, but you'll pull through. With that mind set, you'll never be worrying too much about one thing or another, because you know, you'll make it in the end.
