freedom from all cares

                                                   

What is the point of worrying? Can we really by some internal supernatural power,decompress ourselves of anxiety,uncertainty and burdens?

After a perpetual lifetime of desperate attempts to carry not only my personal cares and afflictions but those of countless others,especially loved ones;I without regret have come up disgracefully short.I am certain that I am not the only one in this God-shaped hole who through the gifts of compassion and ignorance,worry incessantly at times."Cast your cares on Him because He cares for you" is what we often here preached from the pulpits from afar.In my experience it is easier said than done,especially when you have a bill that needed to be paid last month and could possibly render you homeless if it was not.Isn't it near impossible or even somewhat pretentious to nonchalantly dismiss our responsibilities as we watch ourselves slowly spiral into dire straits?.To twist and twirl through the tulips whilst ignoring a growling and angry tummy is preposterous.


If you have kids,oh boy!-your worries are magically quadrupled and even more consistent,just for your pleasure.The constant barrage of tormenting thoughts when your little ones are out of your sight can be overwhelming at best.Managing the plethora of nuisances catapulted on us from the unpredictable realm of the mundane can definitely become debilitating if we allow it. 


It is all meaningless,pointless and downright miserable to allow ourselves to suffer in such a painful way.In my opinion I think we have all been given the eternal gift called free will so it's safe to say we can choose where we allow our minds to wander.We honestly can deliberately decide what to ponder upon whether good or bad.I choose to concentrate my thoughts on more positive scenarios regardless of the outcome in reality.I cannot change anything positively by creating a negative atmosphere for thoughts of doubt and depression to wallow in.I choose to live worry free because it has emancipated me from the doldrums of despair and awarded me an enticingly more fulfilled life.Whatever arsenal you decide to use to combat the hostile enemy of worry is entirely up to you.Before moving from my native Bahamaland to the Great North,I had many apprehensions of my new life abroad but was compelled to take it one day at a time.


Once you find a method that works for you ,stick with it with dogged determination unearthed by whatever comes your way  because the heavy loads of this life  were never meant for you to bear.
