Life

Most of what you worry about never arrives.

Think back to last year's worries. The ones that kept you up at 2 a.m. How many of them actually happened?

Most of them never came. The cloud drifted past. The laundry dried.

Worry feels like preparation, but mostly it's rehearsing pain that never shows up. And the things that did go wrong? Usually they were things you never saw coming, which means all that worrying didn't protect you anyway.

Deal with what's actually in front of you. Let tomorrow's clouds decide for themselves whether they'll rain.
