Worry is Friction of the Mind

Motivational Power Quote

Worry is Friction of the Mind

“It is not work that kills men, it is worry. Work is healthy;

you can hardly put more on a man than he can bear.

But worry is rust upon the blade.

It is not movement that destroys the machinery, but friction.”

Henry Ward Beecher 1813 - 1887, Congregationalist Clergyman, Speaker

As I see it . . . . . . .

Worry is friction of the mind

The more you worry the more friction you create in your mind and that worry stresses your mind into inaction and marginal decision making.

A mind works best when you’re thinking clearly, worry clouds your thinking and creates a fog in your thinking process. When you’re worrying you will make a reactive decision. In most case that decision will be ineffective and will not produce the desired results and may very likely move you further away from your objectives.

A worry has to be defined and broken down into what you can do with the condition that’s creating the worry and what you can do to resolve the condition.

A worry that you alluded to go unchecked will take control of your life, and very likely will put you and your life into a tail spin.  

Address the worry look for the best way to control the worry and do something proactive to remove the root cause of the worry from your thinking and from your life.

Worry is friction of the mind, remove the worry and you will remove the friction and you will restore clarity in your thinking.
