1
00:00:06,500 --> 00:00:11,900
If we're not careful, we can let other people's 
misfortunes become our frustrations.

2
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:18,600
We take on their worries as our own, perhaps 
hoping that our concern will improve their 
situation.

3
00:00:18,700 --> 00:00:21,000
However, that’s certainly not the case.

4
00:00:21,100 --> 00:00:25,600
Worry doesn’t resolve anything. Worry simply 
wears us out.

5
00:00:25,700 --> 00:00:30,400
As the English proverb states, “Worrying 
is like sitting in a rocking chair.

6
00:00:30,500 --> 00:00:33,200
It gives you something to do, but it doesn’t 
get you anywhere.”

7
00:00:33,300 --> 00:00:38,000
So the next time you’re tempted to worry 
about someone else’s problems, remember:

8
00:00:38,100 --> 00:00:42,900
meditating on anxiety will only produce more 
anxiety.

9
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:49,700
You can choose to be carefree by meditating 
on positive things and imagining a better 
future.

10
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:52,400
