If a problem is fixable, if a situation is such that you can do something about it, then there is no need to worry. If it’s not fixable, then there is no help in worrying. There is no benefit in worrying whatsoever. – His Holiness The Dalai Lama XIV

One of the things that helps me most with the above quote is that somewhere I saw (and heard) a video of His Holiness The Dalai Lama XIV saying the words. His calm and peaceful spirit shines through those words and I hear his voice speaking them whenever I read the quote to myself. I have the words at the top of the spreadsheet I use for my daily time and task tracking so I see it often through my work days.

And then, to help, when despite those words, worry about something threatens to overwhelm…

“Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable – if anything is excellent or praiseworthy – think about such things. […] And the God of peace will be with you.” Verse 9
