How to Stop Worrying and Start Living: Questions to ponder, part 1

  1. Do I tend to put off living in the present in order to worry about the future, or to yearn for some "magical rose garden over the horizon"?
  2. Do I sometimes embitter the present by regretting things that happened in the past -that are over and done with?
  3. Do I get up in the morning determined to "Seize the day" -to get the utmost out of these twenty-four hours?
  4. Can I get more of life by "living day-tight compartments"?
  5. When shall I start to do this? Next week? . . . Tomorrow? . . . Today? 
Started reading How to Stop Worrying and Start Living. It seems to go along with Regina Bretts' Life Lessons. I can safely say that I tend to worry about things beyond my control that have yet to happen as well as those that have already occurred. Regret is a horrible thing, and I'm getting better at living with the results of my actions without too much deep meditations upon "what-if" for I can safely say that I'm mostly happy. I really don't have a yearning, for I fear desire potentially leads to envy. Regardless, I will probably seize the day better if my back is feeling better when I awake in the morning.
