A Story That Doesn't Need to Happen

Do you ever have times when your mind just runs and runs, like a "hamster on a wheel"?  Before you know it, you are worrying about something that has not even happened yet!


I was reminded that you don't have to worry.  It sounds so simple, right?  But when I thought about it more, it makes so much sense.    As our circular world spins around us and difficulties crop up, it's hard to halt that inner voice and whirl of worry.  It's especially true as we deal with work, media, family and friends and the hardships that just happen, no matter what we do.

An old African proverb tells to stop worrying about a "a story that does not need to happen".  The story goes that if you are walking through the savanna, and you think a lion is hiding behind a tree, you are only imagining this.  It is a story that doesn't need to happen that way.

So simple.  Perhaps it may help you find comfort in difficulties that happen you.
