Commandments for Anti-Worry!

1. Thou shall not worry, for worrying is the most unproductive of all human activities.

2. Thou shall not be afraid, for most things we fear never come to pass.

3. Thou shall not cross bridges before thou comest to them.

4. Thou shall not handle but one problem at a time, leaving the others to The Lord until their proper time.

5. Thou shall not take troubles to bed, for they make poor bedfellows.

6. Thou shall not try to carry the problems of the world on your shoulders, for only One hath a back that strong.

7. Thou shall be a good listener, for God often speaks through the mouths of others.

8. Thou shall not try to relive yesterday, for good or ill, it is gone forever. Live and rejoice in today.

9. Thou shall dismiss feelings of frustration, for they are rooted in self-pity and interfere with positive action.

10. Thou shall count thy blessings, never overlooking the smallest, for our biggest blessings are often composed of our smaller ones.
