A note on anxiety....

"WHY ANXIETY CONTINUES

Harvey, an insurance agent, asked, 'Why does anxiety continue in
spite of all attempts to end it?'

'Think of the last time you searched for a lost article. Did you
notice something? Everything was fine as long as you still had
places to look. But as you began to run out of likely places,
anxiety arose. Man is like that. Fearing coming to an end of
himself, he pretends he still has legitimate places to look. He
must come to the end of his self-deceiving search. What he has
lost can be found, but not as long as he insists upon looking
in the wrong places.'

Look inward, for the healing is in the same place as the hurt."
