Insight & Action: Don't Borrow Tomorrow's Trouble
Trust your future self to handle future problems.
The world feels uncertain, and for good reason. Headlines, markets, and life itself seem more on tilt right now. When you’re on this kind of emotional whipsaw, it’s easy to get pulled into imagining every worst-case scenario and trying to solve them all in advance.
Don’t. Because you can’t.
Worry can be a drain disguised as preparation. If something difficult does happen in the future, you’ll need your full energy and focus, not what’s left after weeks or months of unnecessary stress. Worrying twice doesn’t protect you from pain; it just makes you live it more than once.
Trust your future self to handle future problems. They will have more experience than you do today. You don’t need to carry every ‘what if’ right now.
When your mind starts spiraling, pause. Ask yourself: Is this a problem I need to solve today or one I can trust myself to handle if it comes later?
Then, breathe.
Keep putting one foot in front of the other.
Step. Step. Step.
The way out? It’s through.
