quotable quote #3
February 18, 2008One of the must-get souveneirs from Indonesia is the sarong, an essential item to any Indonesian (man or woman) living in the villages.
At our Indonesia Missions dinner reunion Rob purposefully disengages himself from the team and vehemently rejects the idea of wearing a sarong, insisting that…
“a sarong is so wrong.”
There is no ‘i’ in team, Rob.

Now that most people’s anxiety is focused and preoccupied with 40% of things that will never happen, 30% of things relating to the past that can’t be changed, 12% of things relating to other people’s criticism, which is generally untrue, and 10% of things relating to health, which often gets worse with stress and negative thinking. Only 8% of the time do they worry about real concerns that will need to be faced. So, if only about 8% of all the issues in our lives really turn out to be ‘something’ why is it that we spend so much time worrying and being highly anxious and stressed about all the rest?
