00:00How do you deal with anxiety concerns in your life?

00:03Work. Where is the time to devote to anxiety?

00:08Where is the space to be anxious?

00:10If you are anxious about something, that thing is obviously important to you,

00:16else you wouldn't be anxious.

00:17And if that thing is important, work. Work for that thing.

00:21The thing is not only important, but also stands incomplete.

00:25That's the reason you are anxious. Correct?

00:27If it stands incomplete, work. Bring it to completion.

00:31Somebody said action is the antidote to despair.

00:34Action. Don't just sit and brood. Work.

00:37And life will become intolerable if you are not a worker.

00:46Arjun, no time to sit and weep.
