Learn to Worry in Reverse

There is no better example for how powerful the mind is in forming an image and then sending the powerful mechanisms of the body into full motion to make it a reality than the age old phenomenon of worrying.

We all have done it, though the person who has mastered his/her life does it minimally or to perfect themselves by incorporating the power of the mind in a positive manner, to image what they want, rather than what they fear, or don't want, and then allowing the natural mechanisms of the body loose to make that a reality.

What am I saying? Well, think for yourself, the last time you worried about something. You created a powerful image in your mind, so real, so vivid, so fearsome, that your body started to react as if the thing were real; elevated pulse, heartbeat quickened, sweaty palms, increased rate of breath, all for what, an image in the mind of what MIGHT happen. Our body is programmed to prepare us for a conflict that is approaching, and so as we image that conflict in our minds, our body prepares us by quickening all the systems that are setup for fight or flight. This is the way we are wired, by God.

Why is it we are almost all such experts at creating a vision so real of what we don't want to happen, that our bodies react, in all particulars as if it were real, but we cannot, nay, will not choose to create for ourselves any reality we desire with the skill and devotion with which we have created that which we fear?

To state it more simply, we can and should exercise ourselves positively, with the same dedication which we have up to now, practiced to perfection, the art of worrying. If we could simply decide that we have the power to create our life, to worry ourselves into success, whatever that may be, by creating a real image in our heads, and feeling all the feelings of gratitude as if it were already accomplished, already given to us. What could we then accomplish if we gave ourselves permission to be happy, and successful?

Could we see instead of a failed marriage, a successful one, could we see instead of the worst of intentions of our friend, the best, could we imagine that we are not clumsy, but instead skilled in our chosen profession, and getting better every day. Could we then without limit, choose the future to which we will awake tomorrow and the next day? I am here to say, that is exactly what could happen, if we sold ourselves the best possible outcome, instead of the worst.

God loves us, and in a world where we have not been taught to doubt and to fear, we can see instead, a life filled with promise, and hope, and endless possibility. Our mind was given to us to steer us, not to be steered by the winds of change, or the whims of those around us. Don't listen to the chatter that tells you that you are living an accidental life. You are a child of God, imbued with all the possibility that a father gives to a child, and with a direct link to his inspiring power, there is no dream that is not possible. Reach out for the best possibility, for the best you can see and dream, and there is nothing you cannot accomplish. You decide.
