Fears and worries originate in the mind. Love and joy originate from the soul.

About This Quote

The mind is the most powerful tool in our arsenal, but it can also be the biggest threat. Fear and worry are extremely useful tools for survival. They alert us to potential danger and can help us strategize. But when we allow them to control us, they become a source of anxiety. We also need to let go of our worries if we want to experience love and joy.
