There is a subtle pleasure in worrying.
00:03
The opposite of this self-centered worry is immersion in action.
00:09
Immerse yourself in the right action, and then where is the space and the time to worry?
00:14
Surely you are stealing time away from work so that you can indulge in worries and anxieties
00:21
and fancies of all kinds.
00:23
If the future, as per your imagination, is really threatening to be terrible, then that's
00:29

00:36

00:37

00:39
