Quote: "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." --- Dr. Wayne Dyer |
Are you someone who seems to worry a lot? Dr. Wayne Dyer, who passed away on August 29, 2015, leaves this message for us to think about and act upon. If you are not familiar with who he was, here is an excerpt from an article on USA Today: Dyer was a guidance counselor at a Detroit high school and went on to run a successful private therapy practice, but his motivational and self-help lectures at St. John's University, where he was a professor, attracted students beyond those enrolled, according to a biography on Dyer's Goodreads page. A literary agent persuaded him to package his ideas in book form, resulting in his first book, Your Erroneous Zones, in 1976. Dyer eventually quit his teaching job and began touring the USA to promote the book, reportedly selling copies "out of the back of his station wagon," according to Michael Korda.

fully functioning, happy life. Everything that has ever happened to you did not happen in the past—it happened in the present moment. And everything that will ever happen to you will not occur in the future—it will take place in the "now" as well. So every moment you
elect to spend in worry is your way of using up your "nows" by not being fully present in your life. Continue reading more: Sending love and asking for blessings for a worry free day, Marlene P.S. Consider sharing this email with someone you know today,
