You cannot prevent the birds of sorrow from flying over your head, but you can prevent them from building nests in your hair. You may not be able to prevent emotions from arising, but you do have the power to prevent emotions from overtaking you. Similarly, complaining about things isn’t going to bring you anywhere. Why would you whine about things if you cannot change them? It’s not gonna make a difference. And why would you whine about things if you’re going to change them anyway? Worrying is no different, it doesn’t help you to solve your problems. Instead, focus on what you can control. In fact, make a list of things you control and ignore everything else. That’s the surest way to prevent you from worrying about things too much.
