When we stop worrying

If a problem is fixable, if a situation is such that you can do something about it, then there is no need to worry. If it's not fixable, then there is no help in worrying. There is no benefit in worrying whatsoever." 
— Dalai Lama XIV
WHENEVER WE ARE WORRYING TO MUCH ABOUT A SITUATION, A PERSON OR A CREATION, we are trying to control.  When we start trying to control something, it controls us.


CONTROL.  Many of us have been trying to keep the whole world in orbit with sheer and force full application of mental energy.  What happens if we let go? if awe stop trying to keep the world orbiting and just let it whirl?  It will keep right on whirling.  It'll stay right on track with no help from us.  And we will be free and relaxed enough to enjoy our place on it.  Control is an illusion, especially the kind of control we've been trying to exert.  If fact, controlling gives other people, events control over us.  Whatever we try to control DOES HAVE CONTROL OVER US AND OUR LIFE. I have given this control to many things an people in my life.  I have never gotten the results I wanted from controlling or trying to control people.  What I received for my efforts is an unmanageable life, whether that unmanageability was inside me or in external events.
