If I Have to...
Never let the future disturb me.
Most of what I’ve feared never happened.
I’ve lost hours, days, even weeks to anxiety over shadows that never came.
And when life actually tested me, I was ready — because I met it with the same weapons of reason I have right now.
The fact that I am writing these lines is living proof that I've withstood everything I've faced up to this point.
The future doesn’t need my worry.
It needs my preparation.
“Never let the future disturb you. You will meet it, if you have to, with the same weapons of reason which today arm you against the present.” – Marcus Aurelius
