Remember, only two events in this life are certain, that we were born and one day we will die. Rest all are events in our life are uncertain. So worrying about things that are uncertain is just a waste of time and energy. Also to know, this uncertainty brings the land of opportunities to some people, people who breathe with a positive mindset, or sleepless nights and miseries to other people with pessimism. "Past is past, future is vast and present doesn't last" Thinking about the past adverse events is just like bringing the pain of the past in the present moment again. And to this context, thinking about the future, what adversities will come to life is like bringing future pain to now moment. Events that may not come true, which are purely based on imaginations, are adding up pain in present. In both cases, the present situation becomes worst and drain energy. If you have suffered from any event in the past which had a bad impression on you, it is useless to think about such experience now. Since the event has already passed and you have come out of it. Only what you can take from those events is what experience you gained and how to avoid or battle with them in the future if it occurs again.

It reduces a person’s productivity and also damages relations with family, friends, and coworkers. When you have good relations with others and have many friends around, you grow in your personal and professional life. The more you make friends, the more you grow and the more grow, the more you enjoy a stress-free and worry-free life. Your thoughts play a major role, so often watch your thoughts. Your thoughts play very big roles in developing worries. We have an active mind and a subconscious mind. Events that are happening in our life or anything which is sensed by our sensory organ is stored in our subconscious mind. When you give a command to the subconscious mind, it brings it to your conscious or active mind. Imagine, currently, you are reading this article and are focused on the subject. If I tell you anything about your parents or your childhood friends, suddenly your mind is started thinking about them. The past events which may have happened, which involved them are played in your imagination now like a movie. What happens in a second? Why your active mind suddenly started thinking about them? Our subconscious mind is too powerful to obey commands which our thought have given to it. Our subconscious mind does not think on its own. It just stores the information and it acts on the command given by our conscious mind. Always give positive commands to your subconscious mind Here is the catch! Give your subconscious mind commands to think positivity, Optimism, and prosperous life. It will bring all ideas or events that happened in the past which kept you optimistic and helped to prosper. On the other side, give it a command of a negative thought, it will make sure to bring a link of spiral negative downward thoughts. Remember, any kind of thoughts once linked, it keeps linking the other related thoughts. If you give command of positive thought, it will take your thinking upwards. It does opposite if you give a negative command. Read more: Thinking and behavior realtion Become rich and stop worrying. It is really important to become rich in our life.
