An unhelpful way of using the mind

Worry does not empty tomorrow of its sorrow,

it empties today of its strength

I found that worry is a habit and over time I did learn to break that habit. It kept me anxious and unable to fully focus on the good things.

So,so true, and something I’m working on.

This came on a day I really needed it. Great post, and Corrie ten Boom had much to worry about in her life, much to overcome, so the fact that the quote was from her was uplifting as well.
