Life beyond Worry
A Simple Practice for Living Beyond Worry, Fear, and Ownership
There is a simple, grounded practice that helps human beings live beyond the suffering of worry, anxiety, and fear-based ownership.
It is offered freely to individuals, religious leaders, spiritual communities, educators, healers, and all who are drawn to a life of love, presence, responsibility, and integrity.
This practice does not belong to any single religion, tradition, or ideology. Each person is invited to take only what speaks truth to them, and to leave the rest.
This practice centers on a small daily ritual that trains non-ownership, right action, and trust in life — one day at a time.

The Daily Message
One day at a time, we are wise to remember and cultivate this truth:
Worry does not belong to us.
We are not the owners of life.
We are not the bosses of life.
Nothing belongs to us — not outcomes, not control, not even our ideas of better and worse.
True love — God, the Most High, as many understand it — does not call us to own anything.
We are called instead to give our lives to love.
So when worry, anxiety, sickness, fear, or unrest appear, one day at a time we remind ourselves:
We do not own life.
We do not own outcomes.
We do not own worry — or anything whatsoever.
We are called to do our best:
to act responsibly,
to learn,
to correct,
to make amends when needed,
and to take right action when action is required.
And then — to release what was never ours to carry.
This does not mean denying emotions or suppressing experience.
It means not owning, feeding, or being run by them.
Being upset, or holding onto upset, is not ours to carry either.
We can step back and gently give all ideas of ownership — of control, fear, and outcome — back to God, to Life, to Love itself.
In this way, we live as witnesses and stewards of life, rather than managers of what was never ours.
Let us cultivate a life of non-ownership,
a steady dedication to goodness,
a commitment to purity of heart.
A Clarifying Note
This practice is not about passivity.
Non-ownership does not mean inaction.
It means right action without fear-based control.
It may look like having an honest conversation, setting a boundary, making a difficult decision, offering service, or standing firm in integrity — without anxiety, resentment, or attachment to outcome.
