Live More, Worry Less

by Nick Wiltgen

 

I have resolved to live more and worry less. What does that mean?

 

I want to live more. I want to do more with my life than I have been doing. I want to go out more, talk to more people, keep in better touch with my friends. I want to read more books and watch less television. I want to get in better physical shape and stay that way. I want to eat delicious food but maintain a health-conscious diet. I want to be creative and to revere the creativity of

 others. I want to travel more. I want to broaden my horizons. I want more out of life.

 

Worry less. I want to be less afraid of people. I want to take more chances. I want to do things that make me a little uncomfortable. I want to put myself out there and risk rejection. I want to be myself and not worry about my minor flaws or mistakes. I want to stop comparing myself to everyone else. I want to break paradigms and push boundaries. I want to stop pigeonholing myself into my

preconceived notions of what is in my character and what isn't.

 

So now, I have some self-training to do. I will turn off the TV and call up a friend. I will hop on the stationary bike with a good book in hand. I will schedule time off from work, catch a flight and explore new places on my own. I will sing in

the car even if my windows are rolled down in heavy traffic.

 

I'm going to live more and worry less.
