Glass of water

A psychologist walked around a room while teaching stress management to an audience. As she raised a glass of water, everyone expected they'de be asked the ''half empty or half full'' question. Instead, with a smile on her face, she inquired: 'How heavy is this glass of water?'
Answers called out ranged from 8 oz. to 20 oz.
She replied: 'The absolute weight doesn't matter. It depends on how long I hold it. If I hold it for a minute, it's not a problem. If I hold it for an hour, I'll have an ache in my arm. If I hold it for a day, my arm will feel numb and paralyzed. In each case, the weight of the glass doesn't change, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes.'
She continued: 'The stresses and worries in life are like that glass of water. Think about them for a while and nothing happens. Think about them a bit longer and they begin to hurt. And if you think about them all day long, you will feel paralyzed - incapable of doing anything.'
Remember to put te glass down.
