99%

I've learned that 99% of the things I worry about never happen......99%!   Wow, that's a lot of stuff that's not going to happen.  So why spend good brain power on worry.  Not me anymore!  Having learned long ago that this worry business was such a waste of time, I simply stopped.  Now it wasn't an overnight stoppage, I had to gradually back away from it.  How I accomplished this was by setting up a time to worry about whatever it was I was worrying about at the time. After a while I didn't need my "worry time" any more!  Not that life isn't worry free but now I just don't let it consume me.  Because after all worry never solves the problem.
