Never Cross Bridges Till Required

Worries May Never Happen

We humans spend too much time dealing with issues that never show up or are way down the road for consideration. Its best for our emotions and physical well-being we leave these two considerations alone till they knock on the door and we answer by saying whose there. To do other wise is a journey in futility, which may never be an issue in our life.

Don't What If

I when lodged in my early twenties had a tendency to mingle in thinking that seldom came into existence. And you’d be amazed how much time you can spend dealing with what if that happens. For example I went through a period of time when fear of dying loomed heavy in my thinking and it even intruded in the silence of my dreams.

Then I Meet Sam

Then one day I meant the answers to all my problems. His name was Sam and that was the name he called himself after he moved here from Saudi Arabia. One day while sitting on the side of a cliff watching the sun go down I observed a gentlemen laying down a rug and then he was in a constant state of bowing and saying foreign words I did not understand. Once the sun exited he stopped and just sat there. Curious I walked over and inquired into his bowing reasons. He told me he was Muslim and that was his way of praying. I smiled he returned same and we talked till darkness consumed us.

I Learned the Art of Dealing With Worry

Later we connected again at the coffee house and we joined in further conversation. He taught me the art of leaving issues to the higher power of understanding, I followed the idea and put all my thoughts to rest and waited for them to happen before worrying about them. And my life improved by leaps and bounds.

Now I Wait Till the Problems Shows Up

So today I leave tomorrows thoughts till they become today’s problem, then I evaluate my options and then quickly move to a conclusion so I can close the door so wellness can find me again.

Never Come to Reality

Most problems never materialize so why worry about them. My thought for today. Live long and love.
