A Subtle Thief…

One of the most destructive habits ensnaring human beings is also so common that many consider it as natural as breathing and as harmless as blinking. That habit is called worry. It is such a skilled and deceptive thief that its victims don’t even know they’ve been robbed… of peace, of time, of mental energy, and of emotional well-being.

“Worry is like a thick braided headband that puts pressure on the mind— a confining cord interwoven with three strands— the distresses of yesterday, the trials of today, and the fearful ‘what if ’s’ of tomorrow. This vice-like grip of worry tragically compresses your joy, cramps your peace, and confines your freedom. But this constriction can be conquered!” -June Hunt
