There's no point in worrying

There's no point in worrying, because if something bad happens, then you've lived it twice. Michael J Fox
And to take it a step further, looking back with grief or regret makes you relive unhappy moments. Sometimes you have to do that to put things to rest, if you feel like you are just 'stuffing' those bad feelings or thoughts. It might be necessary to pull them out and really look at them. But once you do that and find some peace, there is no point in going back again and again. I plan to go back to this entry as often as is necessary. When I find myself revisiting the bad sad stuff I need to remind myself of this. It does no good. It only causes pain.  And it takes away the joy of the present moment.
Sad things happen, yes, they do. But you dont have to be sad forever. Mattie Stepanek
