"Do you remember the things you were worrying about a year ago? How did they work out?
Didn't you waste a lot of fruitless energy on account of most of them? Didn't most of them turn out all right after all?" ~ Dale Carnegie
When I was a young woman and struggling with a problem, my Dad would sit me down to talk it through. He would question what it was exactly that I was worried about. He would ask me to recall any similar situations I had been through previously. And then he would ask, "And what was the end of that story?" Usually, to my surprise, I would be reminded and admit that it all turned out just fine or far better than I had imagined. At which point, my Dad would give me one of his famous grins.
Most of what I worry about never happens. And even if it does, I've gotten through it.
Something to keep in mind....
