Today is Anxiety Day. Ten quotes about anxiety:
- Our anxiety does not empty tomorrow of its sorrows, but only empties today of its strengths. C.H. Spurgeon
- Every tomorrow has two handles. We can take hold of it with the handle of anxiety or the handle of faith. Henry Ward Beecher
- Anxiety is love’s greatest killer. It makes others feel as you might when a drowning man holds on to you. You want to save him, but you know he will strangle you with his panic. Anais Nin
- Anxiety’s like a rocking chair. It gives you something to do, but it doesn’t get you very far. Jodi Picoult
- Anxiety is a feeling grown too large. Patrick Ness
- Anxiety was born in the very same moment as mankind. And since we will never be able to master it, we will have to learn to live with it—just as we have learned to live with storms. Paulo Coelho
- Unease, anxiety, tension, stress, worry — all forms of fear — are caused by too much future, and not enough presence. Eckhart Tolle
- Anxiety is the dizziness of freedom. Søren Kierkegaard
- Anxiety is a living body / Poised beside us like a shadow. / It is the last creature standing, / The only beast who loves us / Enough to stay. Amanda Gorman
- The best use of creativity is imagination. The worst use of creativity is anxiety. Deepak Chopra
The six richest people in Britain decide to hold a contest to settle the question of which of them is most successful. It will be a gladiator style contest with each entrant fielding a team of ten super-powered combatants. Entrepreneur Llew Powell sets out to put together his team, which includes his former lover, an employee of his company with a fascinating hobby, two refugees from another dimension (a lonely giant and a drunken sailor), two sisters bound together by a promise, a diminutive doctor, a former Tibetan monk initiate and two androids with a history. As the team train together, alliances form, friendships and more develop, while others find the past is not easy to leave behind.
Meanwhile, a ruthless race of aliens has its eyes on the Earth. Already abducting and enslaving humans, they work towards the final invasion which would destroy life on Earth as we know it. Powell’s group, Combat Team Alpha, stumble upon one of the wormholes the aliens use to travel to Earth and witness for themselves the horrors in store if the aliens aren’t stopped. Barely escaping with their lives, they realise there are more important things to worry about than a fighting competition.
