Thought 20: About Worry


We commonly observe that everybody worries about his obligations, duties and responsibilities in his business, to his family, about his health, etc. These are all surface exertions. Your foremost occupation in life is to do whatever work you have to do – and do it sincerely to the best of your ability; you can’t do better than that. Performing your duty in that manner is the beginning and the end of all your obligations. And our primary service to the world is to keep ourselves cheerful and happy. To be sorrowful and miserable is a social, moral and religious crime.

"Laugh – the world laughs with you.
Weep - and you weep alone
Rejoice - and men will seek you
Grieve - they turn and go
Feast - and your halls are crowded
Fast - and the world goes by."
(Ella Wheeler Wilcox)

The next thought is about “Worry is unnecessary”.
