Some emotions are useless; exterminate them

 If you believe that feeling bad or worrying long enough will change a current event, the past or future experiences, then you are residing on another planet with a different reality system.

Throughout life, the two most futile emotions are guilt for what has been done and worry about what might be done. 

Guilt means that you use up your present moments being immobilized as a result of past behavior, while worry is the contrivance that keeps you immobilized in the now about something in the future—frequently something over which you have no control. 

You can see this clearly if you try to think of yourself as feeling guilty about an event that has yet to occur, or to worry about something that has happened. 

Although one response is to the future and the other to the past, they both serve the identical purpose of keeping you upset or immobile in your present moment. 

Robert Jones Burdette wrote in Golden Day: 

It isn’t the experience of today that drives men mad. It is the remorse for something that happened yesterday, and the dread of what tomorrow may disclose. 

You see examples of guilt and worry everywhere, in virtually everyone you meet. The world is populated with folks who are either feeling horrible about something that they shouldn’t have done or dismayed about things that might or might not happen. You are probably no exception. 

If you have large worry and guilt zones, they must be exterminated, spray-cleaned and sterilized forever. Wash out those little “w” and “g” bugs that infest so many sectors of your life.

Guilt and worry are perhaps the most common forms of distress in our culture. With guilt you focus on a past event, feel dejected or angry about something that you did or said, and use up your present moments being occupied with feelings over the past behavior. With worry, you use up those valuable nows, obsessing about a future event. 

Whether you’re looking backward or forward, the result is the same. You’re throwing away the present moment.

Worrying and feeling guilty will keep you from moving ahead. One decision is stop unlearn the behaviour that brings you into guilty situation. And worrying won't add a needle to your life.

They all useless emotions

Should a blogger blogs on a single topic?

Some people think blog posts would focus on a niche-topic. I may not be rigght but my option is NO. A blog is known to a a regularly updated website or online platform where persons or  individuals or groups share their thoughts, information, and experiences in a conversational style.  Blog posts are usually displayed in reverse chronological order, with the newest content appearing first, but the content mustn't be niche-concentration.  Blogs cover a wide range of topics, including personal experiences, hobbies, news, and professional expertise. Whether a blogger should focus on a simple topic depends on their goals and target audience. Simple topics can be effective if they resonate with a broad audience and are presented in an engaging way.  However, niche or specialized topics can also attract a dedicated audience.
