Letting Go of Worries and Finding Joy

How dizzy we become and how we get lost in everyday life and obligations. We overwhelm our souls with anxiety and worries about things we think may come into our lives, but it is all in our imagination.

Even if these setbacks we anticipate do come, they will offer nothing to advance ourselves beforehand, only harm to our peace of mind and turmoil in our souls. 

Just as when we constantly throw stones, sticks, or various kinds of garbage into a pond, the water is constantly stirred up and we cannot distinguish what is happening in the pond, so too, when we confuse our minds with constant thoughts and worries, we will neither be able to understand what our problem is, if it really exists, nor will we be able to deal with it in the future. 

We need to nourish our little soul with calm, with things we like, to do good, to generously give joy and love. If we thus get out of our little selves a little, we will see that life is full of small daily blessings.
