Quote

Worry is a cycle of inefficient thoughts whirling around a center of fear.

It only seems as if you're doing something when you worry.

If you take an hour out of your day to meditate, you will progress ten-fold. By staying mentally focused, you can let your worries go.

To meditate is to familiarise our mind constantly and thoroughly with a virtuous object.

Worry is spiritual short sight. Its cure is intelligent faith.

To meditate means to go home to yourself. Then you know how to take care of the things that are happening inside you, and you know how to take care of the things that happen around you.

I have learned over the years that when one's mind is made up, this diminishes fear; knowing what must be done does away with fear.

It makes no sense to worry about things you have no control over because there's nothing you can do about them, and why worry about things you do control? The activity of worrying keeps you immobilized.

If there is something to worry about, my mind has a tendency to worry about it. That can cut two ways. It can really keep you on the ball, but if you worry about every little thing, it's not a good use of time and energy.

I just can't sit still and meditate; that doesn't kind of work for me. I don't even know exactly what it means.
