Good Morning Garden

One of the most difficult aspects of living in harmony and with peace of mind is the refusal to worry and to be anxious. The world around us drives us to fret and fear and we use these reactions as negative reinforcement for avoiding trouble or as self-correction techniques. We do not have to worry or be anxious to be responsible people. In fact, most of the time such activities become self-fulfilling prophecies. In every instance, such behavior corrodes our energy, diverts us away from positive action to address our trouble or concern and freezes us up in our troubles. Such behavior is the equivalent of emotional and spiritual rust. When we trust God and follow His instruction to rejoice and be glad in all things, it is a spiritual lubricant like spraying our spirits with WD-40. It frees us to think, act and live smoothly and efficiently and will reduce all of the friction and corrosion in our lives, hearts and minds. If we refuse to succumb to worry and fear, our positive energy is multiplied and our drag and resistance is reduced.
