Refuse to be miserable
Emotions are given to us for our benefit
In fact, everything in this world is for our benefit. It is the use or misuse of worldly objects that brings about positive or negative results
Emotions like fear and anxiety are meant to help us
Without fear we could act irresponsibly and end up hurting ourselves
This is the positive aspect of fear
But when fear becomes excessive or prolonged, or when we fear the wrong things, it can be harmful
Emotions are positive as long as they are for the right reasons
Felt to an excessive degree, for the wrong reasons, they become negative
Excessive brooding over the future or regret for the past gives rise to worry or anxiety
Worry starts with the letter 'W
. We always think of the "worst"
. When we are conducting our business, we worry
What if I can't make money
What if there is a loss
We never as
What if I make a profit
Worry arises from negative thoughts
Yet, from experience, we know that when we believed the worst would happen, often something good happened.
Whenever worries or negative tendencies arise, think about the wonderful things that might happen.
'O' stands for optimism
and this means refusing to become obsessed with the results of your actions
Think positively about the result, don't be obsessed with it
Sometimes we get more benefits than we expect from our actions, and at other times, we do not get what we expect
But if we are obsessed with a particular result, we usually start thinking negatively - that is, we fear the worst
We come to believe that the only good result is the one we imagine we want
This makes us pessimistic rather than optimistic
We cannot predict the future, we can only plan and work towards it to the best of our ability
So, do not become obsessed about achieving a particular result
. Who knows - the outcome may far exceed your expectations
Constant worry arises from brooding over the future and regretting the past
By habit, we forget the positive results from our past actions and remember only the negative ones
How easily we dig up minor failures from the past to reinforce our gloomy outlook
'R' stands for results
One major reason behind our anxiety for the future lies in our tendency to be physically restful and mentally restless
We want results but we don't want to work for them
Youngsters during examinations spend most of their time worrying about their results because they have not studied enough
Once you have worked properly for a result, there is no need to worry
When we have planned something and are working towards it, it can be mentally restful
We must rest less and work more
'Y' stands for "yes".
Worry continues to haunt us because we say 'yes' to the mind
There will be many situations where worry and anxiety will enter the mind
But do not say 'yes' to the mind
Make up your mind not to worry - that is the secret of controlling the mind
Worry will enter the mind, you just have to refuse to entertain it
Do not say 'yes' to worry
Say 'no' to worry and to all the sorrows in your life
Refuse to be miserable
That is the secret of life
