QUOTES:

No amount of anxiety makes any difference to anything that is going to happen. Alan Watts
The best use of imagination is creativity. The worst use of imagination is anxiety. Deepak Chopra
What's the world's greatest lie?... It's this: that at a certain point in our lives, we lose control of what's happening to us, and our lives become controlled by fate. Paulo Coelho
Sooner or later, those who win are those who think they can. Paul Tournier
Worrying is carrying tomorrow's load with today's strength- carrying two days at once. It is moving into tomorrow ahead of time. Worrying doesn't empty tomorrow of its sorrow, it empties today of its strength. Corrie Ten Boom
"If the problem can be solved why worry? If the problem cannot be solved worrying will do you no good.” Shantideva
