Stop Worrying...

No hidden message here.  I mean exactly that.  Either you've done everything you can, or there's something else you need to do for your own satisfaction.  Once you've done all you can do, it's out of your hands.

It's just like in tennis, you hit the ball over the net.  That's all you can do, so it's in your best interest to hit the best shot you know how.  Once the ball has left your racket you no longer have any control over what it does.  Or it's like shooting a basketball.  Once the ball has left your hand the outcome is quite literally out of your hands, so it's best to make sure you shoot it correctly.  Shoot the shot with confidence, instead of worrying about things outside of your own control.

This is how life works, you give your best effort and wait to see what that produces.  If you're not happy with the results from that work, try again but now with what you learned from the last try.  Be confident in your actions and intentions and do not worry, because all that does is sabotage your best work.  It's impossible to do your best work when you have worry on your mind and in your heart.  If you think otherwise, good luck to you.

Lastly, what you focus on expands and manifests, so it's best to picture the outcome you prefer instead of worrying about that thing you don't want to happen.  There's a multitude of reasons for this, but I'll cover two:  One, what you picture guides your efforts toward that outcome so it's more likely that your actions will produce that outcome.  Two, there's still no guarantee that the outcome you hoped not to see won't manifest, but if you remain focused on the positive one then you can see the bad one as just part of the journey to what you're after rather than just giving up.  Sure, maybe you've been knocked down, but this doesn't have to be the end.  If you focus on the positive outcome rather than your worries, then you're more likely to keep pushing until you achieve what you set out to.

That is all, thanks for reading.  Talk to you soon.
