I was a revolutionary ...Sufi Bayazid Bistami

[life]

The Sufi Bayazid says this about himself
“I was a revolutionary when I was young and a/I my prayer to God was: ‘Lord give me the energy to change the world.’”
“As I approached middle age and realized that half my life was gone without my
changing a single soul, I changed my prayer to: ‘Lord, give me the grace to change all
those who come in contact with me. Just my family and friends, and I s...hall be content,’”
‘Now that I am an old man and my days are numbered, my one prayer is, ‘Lord, give
me the grace to change myself.’ If I had prayed for this right from the start I should not have wasted my life.”

People either worry about a past that they cannot change, or they worry about a future that has not yet happened. Many worry over problems they anticipate or fears that never materialise. Many of our stress-related illnesses are due to problems that we face mentally, psychologically or emotionally. What is certain is that there are always going to be problems.

Murphy's Law says that if anything can go wrong, it will. There does not seem to be anyone who has not experienced problems in life. Every time we solve one problem, a new one springs up. After a while we begin to wonder if there will be a time in life when we can be free of problems.
