If we're not careful, we can let other people's misfortunes become our frustrations.

We take on their worries as our own, perhaps hoping that our concern will improve their situation.

However, that’s certainly not the case.

Worry doesn’t resolve anything. Worry simply wears us out.

As the English proverb states, “Worrying is like sitting in a rocking chair.

It gives you something to do, but it doesn’t get you anywhere.”

So the next time you’re tempted to worry about someone else’s problems, remember:

meditating on anxiety will only produce more anxiety.

You can choose to be carefree by meditating on positive things and imagining a better future.
