Seed: Five Simple Rules for Happiness II
I read the germs for the next five Seeds in a catalogue.
Five Simple Rules for Happiness. The second is . . . Free your mind from worries.
So now, you start this path toward happiness with a free heart. What’s the next obstacle? In my case, and that of many others, it would have to be the mind. I don’t mean Mind, the consciousness that we all share on Earth. I mean my own small monkey mind, the mind that worries.
For some bizarre, heretofore unexplained reason, humans seem to think that worry acts as a sort of prophylaxis. Ever heard anyone say, well, if I worry about it, it might not happen? Ridiculous. Worry is no preventative. Instead it confuses what you want with what you don’t want.
Try this: One of the best cures for worry I know is to ask it a series of questions. Will this (whatever it is) matter in ten years? Ten months? Ten days? Ten hours? Ten minutes? Most of the time, the answers are all no. What happiness when one’s mind is worry-free—think of all the time you’ll have for imagination.
Be joy,
Susan Corso
