Today's Gift
Today's Gift
That the birds of worry and
care
fly about your head
This you cannot change
But that they build nests in your hair
This you can prevent.
-- Chinese Proverb

Worry can light on our shoulders or sink its teeth
into our flesh. Worry can become such a habit that it may actually take over
most of our waking and dreaming hours. Worry can break down our immune system
and weaken our natural ability to fight illness.
For some people, worry is a full-time job and life
companion. How much do each of us worry each day? This is a good question to
ask when we are ready to get serious about changing our worry habits.
Once we have identified how and when we worry, we are
ready to reverse the pattern. Progress, not perfection, is the key in changing
our worry habits. With an open mind and willing heart we have the power to
change our habit of worry into one of trust. We know as we make this change that
our Higher Power is truly at work in our lives.
Today let me begin to replace my worry with trust
and faith in my ability to use my resources to face whatever life brings
me.
