When worries come knocking at your door Do not put that welcome mat out Their goal is to fill your home with fear And cast shadows of loss and self-doubt
Life is never picture perfect We all have worries that will pass our way But we do not have to make these worries our focus We have the power to decide how long they stay
Instead, train your mind to recognize worry And cut it off before it takes hold Do not let it fester in your heart Seize control and throw it out into the cold
The antidote for worry is gratitude Saying thanks for all the good you possess Family and friends that stand by your side Those who bring comfort in times of distress
You may not know it, but joy is all around you It is in a sunny day or your dog’s wagging tail Joy can knock the socks off worry You just have to allow it in and watch it prevail
Next time worry comes knocking at your door Turn the lock and walk away Worry has no place in your home or your heart Give it no reason to want to stay
