Worry and Anxiety Help by Ken McIsaac
"A god, invisible but omnipotent. It steals the bloom from the cheek and lightness from the pulse; it takes away the appetite and turns the hair gray." - Benjamin Disraeli (1804-1881)
It does a lot more than that, Benjamin! The harm that worry causes in our lives has been well documented by many writers, health professionals, and philosophers. Worry can weaken and sicken us, and turn our days into nightmares. At the very least, it prevents us from living fully and happily the only life that we will ever have. At it's worse, it is a killer.

"My life has been full of terrible misfortunes, most of which never happened." - Michel de Montaigne (1533-1592)

"There is great beauty in going through life without anxiety or fear. Half our fears are baseless, and the other half discreditable." - Christian Bovee (1820-1904)
It's never too late to start eliminating worry.
