Worry is just Fear trying to be productive

Whether it’s Leuk or some other heavy disease, it is natural to be worried when you first get the news.

But it’s a waste of time.

We all worry about everything. We worry that interview won’t go well. We worry about money. We worry about our car breaking down on the freeway. We worry we’ll miss the next episode of Storage Wars. We worry that Obama might get re-elected, or, we worry that Mitt will make it.

Worry, worry, worry.

One thing I’ve learned over my years it that worry isn’t real. And it does us no good.

I think that Worry is just Fear trying to be productive. In many ways, Worry is worse than Leuk because it devours our hope. And hope is something you need big time when Leuk’s around.
