Yes work will be good for you. Some times "we" think too much. I know I do. Instead of living in the moment we project our fears into the future and create a reality that doesn't exist. Then we hold on to resentment and regrets from the past. When we do this we can't experience any peace today. We must let go of the past and realize our future is in the now. What we choose now effects our future. Therefore we need to train our minds to focus on what is in front of us now. Do the next right thing. Whatever it is. Just treat people like you want to be treated. Do things that do not cause guilt. Choose actions that help others. Don't be selfish. And if we do these things we do them not for a reward but because it's simply the right thing to do. The reward comes in the form of PEACE in our heart and mind knowing we tried our best. Beware of self-pity. This is selfishness at its worst. "Woe is me". You can never be happy when in this state of mind. It is impossible to have a bad attitude when you are full of gratitude. They are completely incompatible with each other. All religions and spiritual truths are partly based upon these principals.
