What Is The Worst Thing That Could Happen Today?

(By: Noli G. Cerrillo)

“God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can,

and the wisdom to know the difference.”

(By: Reinhold Niebuhr)

When I find my self worrying about things beyond my control and beyond my ability to alter a situation, I stop and take a deep breath and whisper that simple prayer.

I realize I am wrecking my health and well being by anxiety.

Now? I no longer have to wake up in the middle of the night gasping for air.

I take pleasure in my food. A mask disappeared from me.

Now I can appreciate more the beauty of the world each passing day.

THE COST OF WORRY

The Most Famous Insurance Company On Earth

AXA with over 102 Million customers in 56 countries including the Philippines reported total revenues of €99 billion for fiscal year 2015.

will never happen?

99% You will worry about will never happen according to Dale Carnegie the famous author of the best selling book “How to Stop Worrying and Start Living.” his example was his terrible fear of lightning; but realized that the chances by being killed by lightning in any one year are, according to National Safety Council, only 1 in 350,000.

What Is Worry?

The tendency to worry and look at life from a negative point of view often plays a major role in both the development and maintaining of anxiety and worry related problems according to Reneau Z. Peurifoy, M,A., M.F.T Author of Anxiety, Phobias & Panic.

The term used by psychologist to describe worry is negative anticipation, defined as the tendency to dwell on unpleasant or fear-some events that might occur in the future. Because the self-talk generated by this type of worry often begins with “what if,” it is also called what-if thinking.

How to Stop Worrying and Start Living

My favorite book written by my favorite author Dale Carnegie. His proven techniques have helped millions to adopt new mental attitudes that lead to security and happiness, teaching them to break the worry habit

Dale suggest:

1) Shut the door of the past and future.

Stay In The Present

2) See the funny side of life

3) Keep busy. The worried person must lose

himself in action. (Idle hands make evil

minds)

4) Examine the situation: What are the

chances according to the law of

of averages, that this event will

ever occur

5) Count your blessings- not your troubles.

6) Forget yourself by becoming interested in others.

7) Everyday do a good deed that will put a smile of joy on someone’s face.

These inspired me to go on in life despite of

everything that hinders my way. Of course I still

worry, but my main business is not about the

future; It is about what lies clearly at hand and what

I can presently do.

I always bear in mind that; The future is today

The Law Of Averages

The Law of Averages is the law that conclude the number of times a thing will happen in fraction to the number of times that the thing manifest.

The Law of Averages is used by all life insurance companies to regulate the death rate of a given number of people at a given age. It is the scientific principle on which to compute all mortality tables. Why? Because a given number of people are exposed to death at all times, and therefore, a certain number of deaths will happen each year, with absolute precision. This fact, plus the rate of interest earned on the premiums collected, determines the cost of the life insurance per year. Remember: The Most Famous Insurance Company On Earth ?

AXA with over 102 Million customers in 56 countries including the Philippines reported total revenues of €99 billion for fiscal year 2015?

Out of the propensity of everybody to worry that: almost

will never happen?

This is the job of an Actuary.

Actuaries assemble and analyze data to estimate the probability and likely cost of the occurrence of an event such as death, sickness, injury, disability, or loss of property.

The laws that govern the Universe are un-changeable.

They spread out by reason. Notice how reasonably things in nature grow and develop. Nothing is accidental. They develop in natural order and unfold in perfect materialization.

The Laws of the Universe cannot fail. To fail would be a violation of God's own principles or call it of Supreme being if you will. This is impossible. Does the Law of Gravitation fail? Grab a ball and drop it on the ground, see what happens? This law is uniformly on the job even though you are not aware of it.

The Law of Physics, the Law of Chemistry, the Law of Mathematics, or any other fundamental law is constantly available for our use.

All of us moves through our daily lives with different risks, Individual needs to worry depends on a variety of factor, including age, places where we live, how much we go out, how much we travel, the people we meet, the time we are in a place when a disaster or accident will occur.

Here is an interesting fact; it might sound funny but this is an actuarial fact. Dr James K. Hammit, professor of Economics at the Harvard School of Public Health In the U.S. Noted this:

It’s estimated that 150 people around the world die annually from falling coconuts. That is more than double the estimated 62 annual sharks attack worldwide.

Why then should we worry about this facts?

Well, if you are a person who regularly swims in shark-infested waters and you never stand under a coconut tree, then the average difference definitely will not apply to you.

Hows that for Law of Averages and definition of WORRY?
