“You should either pray or worry — don’t do both,” Regardless of you spiritual inclinations, this quote from 50 Cent hits a chord. It comes down to our need for control. Our need to understand, and make sense of things. Our need to NEED. Our minds are dramatically more complex than other life forms, but that’s not necessarily always a good thing. We internalize things more, and manufacture suffering. Aint no animals worried about what time it is, or being late, or even running out of time. Animals only experience fear in the present, and that fear is what they use to get out of danger. Our fears plant seeds in our brain and grow, to thing’s we’ve yet to experience, or finished experiencing a long time ago. For reasons like this, we’ve done wonders in the field of suffering. There isn’t a pill for this. Worry exists in the future, and like depression of the past, it can spiral out of control super duper quick. The anxiety that comes with worry & depression is no longer mental, that physical, and that f*ck you up. For that simple purpose, a worry unaddressed can chip away at your life. Respecting the nature of things isn’t a Zen Buddha ‘be one with nature’ mentality. It’s simply encourages one to respect the way things are setup, and their nature, and our relationship to them, some sh*t you can change, some sh*t is still beyond you, maneuver accordingly. Don’t get me wrong, though it feels like sh*t, sometimes worrying has come in handy, nothing is absolute. I’m also sure it’s part of our general mental makeup, so at best we can only reduce he frequency of our worries. A Reduction in worry is still steps up in quality of life though. It’s an exercise of letting go. When we remember that we have limited resources (internally & externally), only then do we use them with an enhanced wisdom. Many situations & people that occupy our minds may no longer warrant such attention when it comes to the grand scheme of things. The end game is death, and you can see as depressing, or liberating. Only you know if you’re worrying is warranted, it’s an expense you primarily pay. “Worry does not empty tomorrow of its sorrow, it empties today of its strength.” ― Corrie ten Boom, (remember if at anytime you said ‘easier said than done’ you owe me $5) If you enjoyed this, please click [SHARE] **Book Coming Soon ***My Music is Available here: http://bit.ly/10aikD0 One Luv KanwerHumble The Poet Founder: Brwnppl.com All Blogs & Music at http://bit.ly/XSw74x](http://25.media.tumblr.com/30f7c83d1f92883c1f94fdbc5691c012/tumblr_mm1y873pZz1qdsq0ao1_500.jpg)

Fitting in is a pointless activity. When it’s your time to die, that’s going to be a solo activity, so don’t let the choices you make while you’re alive depend on the approval of others, cause when it’s all said & done, they aint coming with you. I write a lot about death, mainly because it’s the most liberating idea that comes to my mind. Most of the things that bog our mind with worry are just manufactured by our imagination, and the reminder of death does well to belittle their importance. There is a grand scheme of things, and when you think of it, you realize not only should you not sweat the small stuff, but that it’s ALL the small stuff. Every moment you receive is yours & yours alone. You choose to waste it lost in your past, or worried about your future, or you choose to enjoy it by allowing yourself to be in it. The company you keep in it is also a choice of yours, and if the people you have around you don’t appreciate you for the unique creation you are, then move on; life isn’t long enough to win folks over, nor is it ever worth the effort to seek approval for the judgmental. Many folks in history that we may celebrate now, did not receive the same accolade when they were around. Some of the thoughts & ideas they expressed may not have been the most comforting & convenient. But well after they’re gone, they become considered ‘ahead of their time’. I doubt many of those folks that accomplished great things did it solely for the accolades, or our feeble approval years later, they had faith in what they were doing, and even if the world seemed against them, they pushed forward. History these days is written with a bias, and folks are either uber-demonized or uber-glorified, both forgetting that people are not simple black & white beings. This serves well for our continual efforts to simplify the world, but does little for people who catch themselves in comparison. One of my favourite Human Beings is Malcolm X for the simple fact that he acknowledged/repented his own biases & close mindedness when having new experiences in life. It’s OK not to be perfect, no one before you ever was, and if anyone claims they were, it’s probably a claim made after the fact. We each have an awesome uniqueness within us, and we could probably use those individual traits to benefit ourselves & others. To discover those gems will require some internal treasure hunting, so i recommend you start digging. digging inside doesn’t require the approval of folks on the outside. if you enjoyed this, please click [REBLOG]**Book Coming Soon***My Music is Available here: http://bit.ly/10aikD0One LuvKanwerHumble The PoetFounder: Brwnppl.comAll Blogs & Music at http://bit.ly/XSw74x](http://24.media.tumblr.com/9323e68ee50de8fada0ba320a00b1b7c/tumblr_mm5jrxgtJa1qdsq0ao1_500.jpg)
