    The Worry Chart

     

    40% of all things we worry about never happens

     

    30% have already happened and we can’t do anything about them

     

    12% needless worries about health

     

    10% petty miscellaneous issues

     

    8% real worries – ½ we can do little about, the other ½ we can

     

    If we were to keep a record of all the things we worried about during a given period of time,

     we would discover, in reviewing them,

    that the great majority of our anticipated problems or troubles

    never come to pass.

    This means that most of the time we devote to worrying,

    even the constructive kind that prompts us to try to

    come up with a solution to what is troubling us, is wasted.

    Thus, we not only caused ourselves unnecessary mental anguish,

    but also took up valuable minutes and hours that

    could have been spent elsewhere.

    #12 Share A Smile
    The Talmud instructs us: "Greet each person with a friendly smile" (Avot 1:15).

    When you smile to someone, the recipient of your smile gains, and you increase the number of your friends. He is likely to smile back and this will increase your own positive feelings.
