Jesus said," Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." Mt. 6:34
"Martha, Martha," the Lord answered, "you are worried and upset about many things, but only one thing is needed. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her." Lk. 10:41-42

A man's own folly ruins his life, yet his heart rages against the LORD. Pr. 19:3
Do everything without complaining or arguing, Phil 2: 14
And do not grumble, as some of them did—and were killed by the destroying angel. 1 Cor. 10:10.

When you have eaten and are satisfied, praise the LORD your God for the good land he has given you. Dt.8:10
Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name. Ps. 100:4
“give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.” 1 Thes. 5: 18

The bumblebee can’t fly

Intelligent ignorance!
Desire creates intelligent ignorance. Intelligent ignorance is the characteristic or capability of not knowing what you can’t do, and doing it anyway. Many times this enables a person to accomplish the near impossible.

For example, a new salesman joins an organization. With no sales experience, he doesn’t really know anything about selling. Fortunately, he doesn’t know he doesn’t know and somebody motivates him. The result is, he is so enthusiastic he leads the entire organization in sales. Not knowing he can’t do it, he does it.
Maybe that’s why a “green” salesman is better than a “blue” one or a “yellow” one.

It’s a well known fact that the bumblebee can’t fly. Scientific evidence about it is overwhelming – the bumblebee can’t fly. His body is too heavy and his wings are too light. Aerodynamically, it is an impossibility for the bumblebee to fly, but the bumblebee doesn’t read – he does fly.
