About This Quote

People often worry about short term heartache. It is understandable. You may lose a job, get dumped by your partner, lose your house, or your child dies. These all create short term heartache.

But they can also create long term happiness if you keep moving forward and never stop looking for ways to improve your situation. When I was a kid, my mom told me that I shouldn't worry about losing a baseball game while I was playing it. She said that I shouldn't worry about things that were out of my control and that worrying would make me take my eye off the ball.

In short, she said, "Focus on the present and not the past."
