Worry is one of the biggest hindrances to ascension of the soul and can negatively affect your physical body. Worry can affect your heart, it can make you more likely to have high blood pressure, a heart attack or stroke. Higher levels of anxiety can trigger stress hormones that make your heart beat faster and harder. It can stiffen muscles, cause headaches, weaken your immune system and lead to depression.
Here are some quotations about worry:
"When you look back at your life how many of the fears and worries have actually come true, perhaps some but think about all the wasted time and negative energy spent in preparation for all that didn't." Charles F. Glassman
"There is a great difference between worried and concerned. The worried person sees a problem, and a concerned person solves a problem." Harold Steven
“When I asked him -Mr.Henry Ford- if he ever worried, he replied: "No. I believe God is managing affairs and that He doesn't need any advice from me. With God in charge, I believe that every-thing will work out for the best in the end. So what is there to worry about?” Dale Carnegie (How to Stop Worrying and Start Living)
"According to Vedanta, there are only two symptoms of enlightenment, just two indications that a transformation is taking place within you toward a higher consciousness. The first symptom is that you stop worrying. Things don't bother you anymore. You become light-hearted and full of joy. The second symptom is that you encounter more and more meaningful coincidences in your life, more and more synchronicities. And this accelerates to the point where you actually experience the miraculous." Deepak Chopra
