“Worry pretends to be necessary but serves no useful purpose.”
— Eckhart Tolle
Simplified Meaning:
When you worry, your mind keeps thinking about things that make you feel stressed or anxious. This can make you believe that worrying will help solve your problems or protect you from bad things. But in reality, worrying doesn't actually help you at all. It's like sitting in a rocking chair – you keep moving, but you don't go anywhere. Imagine you have a big exam coming up. If you spend hours worrying about failing, it won't help you learn anything. Instead, it just makes you more nervous and distracted. But if you use that time to study or review your notes, you are actively doing something that can help you succeed. So, instead of letting worry waste your time and energy, focus on actions that can truly make a difference in your life. This way, you can tackle challenges more effectively and feel more in control.
