The present worries foretell possible future challenges

What are you most worried about for the future?

Have you looked out the window or watched the news lately? There’s many things to worry about. There’s items of immediate concern. There’s medium and long-term worries. Retirement funds while a few decades away are actually on my mind a lot lately. The enormous price increase of Coke Zero has had me worried for the past year. Recent research findings on aspartame and cancer distress me. My upcoming surgery has me on pins and needles. Running into men punching themselves on my exercise trail more than worries me. So, there’s a lot to worry about in life. The present worries foretell possible future challenges.

However, we cannot let these worries block us, stop us, or prevent us from trying to address what we see that may need to change. How you handle your worries is just as important as what you worry about. Simple. Breathe in and breathe out. Tackle one issue at a time and engage in prevention.
