FOCUS ON THE AFFAIRS
OF THE MOMENT
Grief (huzn) is usually over past events that you can neither bring back nor rectify. Anxiety (hamm) is usually fear and concern over what will come in the future. Therefore a person should concentrate his energy and attention in the betterment of his existing events, and his present moments. Focusing on the affairs of the moment is the necessary cause of them being accomplished, and is what gets rid of grief and anxiety from the heart.
