Is Worry Really Helpful
One of the most deceptive and disabling excuses is the false belief that worry is helpful.
However, when we take a close look at the terms we use, we find that we confuse worry and concern. Worry by definition is over concern. True worry is never __________!
Let us examine the confusion between worry and concern a bit closer.
Summary on Excuses
Excuses remove us from true healing because they hide the wound. They perpetuate a trash-filled hole in our soul by saying it is tolerable. We cover up a deadly disease that paralyzes us from true concern and care. Worry fritters time and love away that can never be regained.
Can you agree that worry always does you no good?
