Why worry?

This morning, I was looking at the weather forecast.

“The beginning of June looks awful”, I said to my wife. “Rain, rain, rain.”

She answered: “Why are you doing this to yourself? Weather forecasts change and you can’t change the weather.”

A life lesson over a weather forecast.

This reminds me of a short video I used when coaching people:

Something’s wrong?
Can you do something about it?
No? Then why worry?
Yes? Then why worry?

I know this. But it’s still overridden by the conditioning.

Looking at the future.
Making predictions about the future.
Thinking I control how things will unfold.

Truth is, I control nothing external.

Control is an illusion.

But I still can ask myself that simple question:

Can you do something about it?
