Words of Wisdom: Dale Carnegie On Worry

Dale Carnegie was a writer and speaker on topics that included self improvement, positive attitude, public speaking, among other things.  Below are some of my favorite thoughts he shared on worry:

  • If only the people who worry about their liabilities would think about the riches they do possess, they would stop worrying
  • If you can't sleep, then get up and do something instead of lying there worrying. It's the worry that gets you, not the lack of sleep
  • Instead of worrying about what people say of you, why not spend time trying to accomplish something they will admire
  • Our fatigue is often caused not by work, but by worry, frustration and resentment

Worry stops us from achieving and can put undue stress on people-- break free of it as fast as you can!

    I've always thought that there's a lot of work time wasted during the week in anticipation of weekend activities; and, a lot of the weekend wasted worrying about the work week ahead.

    Thomas Jefferson told us that worrying about a matter doesn't help, but charging into it and dealing with it does.

      I too have been guilty of letting worry bring me down.  However, I am learning that when I attack problems, not only do I get stronger, I get better results in resolving the problem at hand . . .
