Those fictional monsters we create in our minds often hurt us more than the dangers of which they were borne. Fearfulness and worrisomeness, we pay a high price for them from our sanity, and yet all they do is steal our joy and sap our strength. Sometimes we realize that the poison damaging our thoughts came from the same cup we poured onto ourselves.
The future is unknown, and could be full of danger and frustration. But we forget that we can be strong when we need to, sometimes stronger than what we thought is possible, and for that reason we can face and overcome any struggle we might encounter.
There is no need to fear. We should spend our thoughts instead on what makes us happy.
