For those
of you who have never seen a guinea hen let me explain what I mean .
A guinea hen is a rounded bird that comes in Lavender, Pearl Gray
or Royal purple. When they walk their whole body looks as if it
is curled tight like a bundle of nerves. Richard and I have traveled
all over the country and have seen many people who resemble the
guinea hen. The reason being is because they worry too much. It
seems to me that the human race feels that if they don't worry the
will lose control of a situation.
If you took
time to go to a park you would notice that the ducks aren't rubbing
their web feet together worried about whether or not they are going
to find their next meal. Instead they know that there is always
enough. They know without a doubt that they will receive what they
need at the right time and right moment.
Lets look at
a mother ducks nest. She will lay an egg or two every day or until
she has a full clutch. (Usually 8-15 eggs) She will only sit on
them after all the eggs are laid. Note: It takes eggs 28-30 days
to hatch from when she starts sitting on them. The mama duck prepares
the nest and works to receive her young. She puts her love and patients
into building the nest and caring for each individual egg. She never
tries to rush the process. Instead she religiously sits on them
for twenty eight days or more all alone without TV talk shows or
Court Room Drama not complaining but giving them the warmth they
need to hatch.
The point is, she gives of herself and is very patient and soon
her time spend is paid off with lovely ducklings. If you are patient
and willing to give the time you too will receive that which you
desire. The idea is to let go and let it happen.
Think about the farmer he cultivates and fertilizes his land, plants
the seeds and then he waits. He doesn't dig up the seed every other
day to see how it is progressing instead she waters, nurtures and
lets go leaving the rest to nature.
“All the water in the world however hard it tried, could never,
never sink a ship unless it got inside. All the hardships of this
world might wear you pretty thin, but they won't hurt you, one least
bit ... Unless you let them in. “ Anonymous
Richard and I took a survey asking people if worry helped the situation
or helped improve their lives. All the people who responded to our
survey said NO.
If this is
the case WHY DO YOU WORRY?
 Worry
affects the circulation, the heart, the glands, the whole nervous
system, and profoundly affects ones health. (Charles W. Mayo, MD)
Worry will not help any situation it will only project negative
vibrations which will in turn block the flow of any good ideas that
can help resolve the solution” Unless you want to perpetuate
conditions around you, you must change your thoughts about them."
(Eric Butterworth, Celebrate Yourself!) Worry doesn't help you it
hurts you. "Worry often gives a small thing a big shadow."
Swedish Proverb
